You’ve probably heard it: “Go digital—it’s better for the environment.” It’s a tidy message, one that’s easy to repeat. But easy isn’t always accurate.
At BOPI, we believe sustainability shouldn’t be a slogan—it should be a commitment backed by real, measurable actions. That’s why we don’t just talk about environmental responsibility—we build it into every step of our operation.
♻️ More Than Recyclable—We Recycle Everything We Can
Our print process is designed with the full lifecycle in mind. From paper to packaging components, we maximize material efficiency and recovery:
- All paper waste is collected and recycled responsibly.
- Printing plates, made without any chemical processing, are reused or recycled to minimize environmental impact.
- Inks and plastics, often overlooked, are carefully sorted and recycled where possible.
This isn’t a side program. It’s built into our workflow—and has been for years.
🌿 Third-Party Verified: Certifications That Matter
BOPI maintains FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) and Rainforest Alliance certifications, meaning our paper and materials come from forests that are managed to preserve biodiversity, respect local communities, and promote long-term sustainability.
These aren’t just logos on our website—they’re audited, traceable, and maintained through rigorous compliance and sourcing practices.
☀️ Powered by the Sun (and Smarter Energy Choices)
We’ve invested in on-site solar panels to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and shift toward renewable energy. But our efforts don’t stop there:
- LED lighting is installed throughout our facility, cutting down electricity use and emissions.
- We use low-cure inks and coatings, which reduce energy consumption during the drying process.
- BOPI is a certified EPA low emitter, meaning our air quality controls and emissions standards exceed regulatory benchmarks.
🖨 Print That’s Thoughtfully Made
Let’s talk about plates. Ours are processed without harsh chemicals, eliminating the need for dangerous waste disposal or employee exposure. And because of the way we’ve modernized our workflows, our production is leaner, cleaner, and smarter.
In short: print doesn’t have to be wasteful—it can be a responsible, renewable part of your supply chain.
🌍 Don’t Be Misled: Paper Isn’t the Problem
There’s a growing narrative suggesting that moving away from print is the only path to sustainability. That message, while convenient, often ignores the real data.
- Paper is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
- Many digital infrastructures have significant hidden environmental costs—from energy-hungry data centers to short-lifespan devices that end up in landfills.
- Responsible print, sourced from sustainable materials and produced with care, is renewable, recyclable, and effective.
Print done right isn’t the problem. It’s part of the solution.
🧭 A Clear Path Forward
Sustainability isn’t about finding shortcuts—it’s about showing up consistently with practices that make a difference. At BOPI, we’re proud of our environmental track record, and we’re committed to doing more.
We invite you to take a closer look at your print partners. Ask the tough questions. Review the certifications. Understand what “eco-friendly” really means. And most of all, don’t settle for green promises that aren’t grounded in proof.
Responsible print. Proven practices. Real impact. That’s the BOPI way.
