Absolutely. We exclusively use eco-friendly and water-based inks in our printing process. These inks not only produce high-quality prints but also significantly reduce the emission of harmful chemicals into the environment compared to traditional solvent-based inks.

Yes, we take pride in offering Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper options for printing as well as using all FSC certified wood for our frames. This certification ensures that the paper and wood used in our products comes from responsibly managed forests, promoting sustainability and conservation.

Waste reduction is a top priority for Trade Canvas Print.

Certainly! Carbon offsetting with the Woodland Trust involves supporting projects that aim to reduce or capture an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to offset one’s own carbon footprint. The Woodland Trust is an organisation that focuses on the conservation and planting of trees in the United Kingdom.

Calculate Carbon Footprint:

• First, a business or individual calculates the amount of carbon dioxide emissions they produce through various activities, such as energy consumption, transportation, and manufacturing processes. This is often referred to as their “carbon footprint.”

Supporting Tree Planting Projects:

• To offset these emissions, individuals or businesses can invest in projects that remove or prevent an equivalent amount of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. The Woodland Trust, in this case, is likely involved in tree planting projects. Trees absorb CO2 during photosynthesis, helping to mitigate the impact of greenhouse gas emissions.

Environmental Impact:

• The Woodland Trust, being a reputable environmental organisation, ensures that the trees planted in their projects are well-maintained and contribute to the overall health of ecosystems. Trees not only sequester carbon but also provide additional environmental benefits, such as promoting biodiversity, preventing soil erosion, and improving air and water quality.

Verification and Certification:

• Carbon offset projects often go through a verification process to ensure their effectiveness in reducing carbon emissions. Certification standards, such as the Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard, may be applied to guarantee the credibility and transparency of the offsetting initiatives.

Offsetting the Carbon Footprint:

• By investing in these projects with the Woodland Trust, individuals or businesses effectively “offset” their own carbon footprint. This means that the emissions they are responsible for are balanced out by the environmental benefits generated through tree planting initiatives.
