Though it may not be obvious, the production of a printed product like a newspaper, magazine, or book can have a significant impact on the surrounding environment. During the various processes involved within the production of a printed product, there are many different forms of pollution that are produced and when combined make the printing industry one of the larger producers of pollution.

Recently within our economy, consumers have become more aware of their environment and are now demanding greener options for various products and services, the printing industry not excluded. Therefore it becomes important that information is readily available for consumers, which can outline and inform them about the various environmentally-friendly options that can be requested at their local print shop or commercial printing partner.
