Solopress Introduces New Scheme for Carbon Offsetting at Checkout

Press release from the issuing company

SOUTHEND-ON-SEA, UK - Online print company, Solopress, is proud to announce an exciting new initiative that’s enabling customers to order carbon-neutral print on its most popular products. This new scheme follows the lead of the eco-friendly Solopress Green range, and makes carbon offsetting accessible at checkout.

Simon Cooper, Managing Director of Solopress, comments on this new initiative:

"We believe in providing our customers with the ability to make a positive impact on the environment. This feature empowers them to engage in carbon offsetting when purchasing our products, furthering our collective efforts in the fight against climate change."

Available on a selection of best-selling products like flat and folded flyers & leaflets, business cards, brochures, and books, customers can now choose to offset the carbon footprint of their orders. Their contribution supports environmental sustainability by aiding projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gasses.

At checkout, customers can opt to 'Make this order Carbon Neutral', pledging their support for projects such as Woodland protection and tree planting in the UK, facilitating clean drinking water in Eritrea, or contributing to projects that address the problem of Ocean plastic. The contribution quoted with each eligible order from Solopress is calculated to balance the amount of carbon dioxide put into the atmosphere during production.

Solopress has already offset a staggering 150,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide through the Solopress Green range. That’s equivalent to the weight of the Statue of Liberty or an average Blue Whale. With offsetting now extending across a greater spread of products, Solopress aims to increase this figure dramatically.

In Cooper's words,

'"The significant amount of work that’s gone into this project underscores our commitment to sustainable business practices and the environment. Since soft launching the scheme, we’ve been delighted with the levels of uptake we’ve seen. It’s an encouraging vindication of our customers’ willingness to support worldwide efforts to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere."
