Earth Day is the perfect time to reflect on how small, thoughtful choices can lead to meaningful change. At Metzgers, we believe sustainability isn’t a one-time effort—it’s part of doing business the right way. That’s why we’ve made eco-conscious practices part of our everyday operations, helping our customers make smarter, greener choices in their print marketing.
78% of consumers feel that sustainability is important, and 62% say they “always or often” seek products to purchase because they are sustainable. It’s never been more important to align your marketing efforts with environmentally responsible practices.
Our Commitment to Sustainable Printing
Sustainability at Metzgers isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a priority. Here are a few ways we support your eco-friendly goals:
- FSC®-Certified Paper Options
We offer a range of Forest Stewardship Council-certified paper stocks sourced from responsibly managed forests. - Recycled Content in Most Paper Stocks
The majority of the paper we use includes recycled material, meaning very little comes from 100% virgin fiber. - Soy-Based Inks
Many of our presses use soy-based inks, a more sustainable alternative to petroleum-based inks that still delivers rich, vibrant color. - Facility-Wide Recycling Program
We recycle a variety of materials generated during the print process to help reduce overall waste. - Rooftop Solar Panels
Our facility is partially powered by solar energy, reducing our reliance on traditional energy sources and shrinking our carbon footprint.
These initiatives work together to help you create high-quality marketing materials while keeping environmental responsibility top of mind.
Easy Ways to Print More Sustainably
Looking to incorporate more eco-conscious practices into your print strategy? Here are a few simple tips:
- Choose FSC-Certified or Recycled Paper – Ask our team about paper options that align with your sustainability goals.
- Print Smart, Not Excessive – Short-run or on-demand printing can help you avoid unnecessary overages and waste.
- Design for Impact – Clean, minimalist layouts not only look modern but also reduce ink usage.
- Encourage Recycling – Add a “Please Recycle” message to your printed pieces to remind recipients to dispose of them responsibly.
We’re happy to collaborate with you to find the right balance of quality, cost, and sustainability.
Sustainability That Goes Beyond Earth Day
Earth Day may come once a year, but sustainable printing is a year-round opportunity. Continuing to make eco-conscious choices benefits both your brand and the planet:
- Make Sustainable Materials the Standard – Prioritize recycled content and materials whenever possible.
- Be Transparent with Customers – Share your sustainability efforts! It builds trust and shows you’re invested in more than just business.
- Reuse When You Can – Consider repurposing signage and displays when possible to get the most out of each piece.
