SAPC celebrate World Land Trust Carbon Balanced Printers accreditation
St Austell Printing Company are proud to be one of a handful of printers in the UK to be an official “Carbon Balanced Printer”.
This means they have offset the full operational carbon footprint of your print.
The certification is attained by offsetting the company’s entire operational carbon footprint, through the purchase of endangered tropical habitat. This is part of a scheme operated by the World Land Trust, of which Sir David Attenborough is a Patron.
In the first year, St Austell Printing Company has committed to protecting and restoring 26 acres of tropical forest in Khe Nuoc Trong – one of the best remaining examples of lowland forest in the Annamite Mountains of Central Vietnam. This equates to the equivalent of around 15 football pitches.
Carbon Balanced Printers such as St Austell Printing Company differentiate themselves as leaders on the environment, and carbon management, and are the only ones licensed to use the unique Carbon Balanced Print Logo.

Sustainability and the environment is at the heart of everything we do. We’re always looking for ways to limit our impact on the world around us – so choosing to offset the carbon footprint of our entire manufacturing operation was an obvious choice to make.
