    • Green printing
    • Recycled PaperDesigners on the Run promote printing on recycled paper, fsc certified papers and other eco friendly materials. Recycled Paper Recycled paper is the greenest option overall – it uses up waste paper and its production requires less energy and fewer chemicals. Plus, it provides a market for paper waste in the UK and encourages more recycling. Why use recycled paper? It uses less energy and creates fewer emissions than virgin paper It supports UK recycling companies and provides a market for UK paper waste It reduces the amount of waste paper going to landfill It is the only way to be sure that your paper hasn’t had a detrimental effect on any forest environment What is recycled paper? Superficially it’s quite straightforward: waste paper and board is collected, sorted and then purchased by paper mills to be re-used. However, there are varying definitions of genuine recycled paper. General thinking is to encourage the highest post-consumer recycled content whenever possible, providing that ‘fitness for purpose’ and performance criteria are taken into consideration. Look out for the percentage of post consumer recycled waste when choosing a paper. The quality of the original waste fibre will dictate how it is re-used – good…
    • Green Web HostingCan a website be green? …yes it can! Designers on the Run recommend the use of Green web hosting to all our clients – this website is currently hosted by Green ISP. Currently there are a good choice of green web hosting companies out there, offering various packages and pockets to suit. Why choose a green web hosting company? It takes a lot of energy consumption to maintain servers for a web host so one easy way of making your website more eco-friendly is by opting for a green web hosting company. Their green credentials all vary but most can be differentiated by the method by which they power their operation. From using renewable energy such as solar power to carbon offsetting you will also generally find that these companies tend to be more socially responsible with some holding non-profit status and giving a percentage of their profits to good causes. We host our own website and some of our clients websites on Green web host which are non-profit, carbon offset, will plant a tree on your behalf, have solar powered offices, and can also offer solar powered hosting. Are they reliable? From our own personal experience of hosting with…
