Greener Printing around the corner, on a shared machine, only what you need
No green badges. You print at a shop nearby, on a machine that doesn't sit idle at home, and only what you actually need.
Three things the model does on its own
-
No parcel shipping
You pick up your prints at a shop you pass anyway—no parcel traveling from a central print house through a depot and a delivery van to your door. The shortest route for a print is the one you walk.
-
Shared printers instead of home ones
One busy printer at a copy center replaces dozens of home printers that print a few pages a year and then end up as e-waste, half-used toner and all.
-
Printed only to order
Nothing is printed for stock. The print shop prints exactly what you ordered, and only once you've ordered it—no overproduction, no shredding unsold prints.
What you can do
Two clicks, half the paper
Print double-sided. One sheet, two pages—half the paper. And since paper is charged per sheet, double-sided printing is also cheaper per page; you'll see the difference right in the price comparison. For longer documents, it's the easiest saving there is.
Choose recycled paper. Selected print shops in the network offer it—you'll find it in the print shop filters and in the print settings when you order. It's not a promise for the future; it's a choice you can make today.
What about certifications? Print shops that state they print on FSC-labeled paper carry an "FSC paper" badge next to their name—and you can find them with a filter in the print shop listing. It's their own declaration, not our certification: each shop buys its own paper, so ask them directly for details—their contact info is on their page.
