    I know, I know. It doesn’t sound too nice. But lets face it, in business, if customers don’t pick your business, they’ve picked somebody else. I want to help you so that the customer picks YOUR business over somebody else’s. This is basically for e-commerce, so for traditional business, emails, e-zines, etc., might not apply but you might stil

    Remember when we last talked about sustainable marketing we looked at how PlanetArk and the Direct Marketing Association in the UK are publicising the message of sustainability. And we also noted the conflict of interest that arises with direct mail.

    Now I'd like to look at how stationery and how you use it affects the environment.

    4 Ways Your Stationery Hits The Environment Marketing and marketing related activities consume a vast amount of ink and paper. There are at least 4 ways. These include business cards, letters, bills and brochures which all affect the environment:

    • Forests themselves
    • Printer Inks
    • Dampening solutions
    • Chlorine
    The Forests Themselves Paper production has a major environmental impact on forests when paper fibre is produced from trees cut from virgin forest without replanting. The good news is that you can encourage sustainable paper use by choosing printers who only use paper from European forests where more trees are planted than felled.

    Printer Inks The most common inks are petroleum-based. Using these can creates large quantities of volatile organic compounds. (VOC).

    Vegetable dye inks are more sustainable. They’re cleaner and brighter and more rub resistant than petroleum-based inks. They produce much less of the volatile organic compounds. And they’re the same cost as petroleum based inks.

    Dampening Solutions Many printers use a dampening solution with high levels of a solvent called isopropyl alcohol (IPA). IPA contributes to the Volatile Organic Compound emissions.

    Tie Tacks - Keeping Suits Nifty One Necktie at a Time
    Italian pinstripe designer suits, a button-down collar, and French cuffs do not a complete outfit make. They need something more, and this something is called a tie tack. A necktie without a tie tack is like potato chips without potatoes. The tie tack improves not only the outfit's form, but also its function. Tale of the Tie Tack e environment.

    Most culinary schools today are still teaching their students how to compute the wrong food cost. Granted the math is right, but the dollars involved are hurting the bottom line of our restaurants. The problem arises from the separation of percentage points and dollars.Banks Use Dollars, not Percentage Points One thing I am aper from European forests where more trees are planted than felled.

    These days there are over 90,000 ezines and newsletters on the internet. So how do you know whether you should add your own company ezine to the mix? This is a big question for many company CEOs and public relations experts as well as small business owners.An ezine is a time consuming commitment, one that must be kept in order to have positthan petroleum-based inks. They produce much less of the volatile organic compounds. And they’re the same cost as petroleum based inks.

    Dampening Solutions Many printers use a dampening solution with high levels of a solvent called isopropyl alcohol (IPA). IPA contributes to the Volatile Organic Compound emissions.

    Again there is an environmentally friendly alternative. The printer can use a waterless printing process. That means a dampening solution isn’t required and therefore no IPA is released.

    Chlorine Chlorine is used to bleach paper to make it white. The side‑effect is that carcinogenic organic compounds are produced that are toxic to life.

    Of course there are plenty of chlorine-free papers that can be used instead.

    Why Doesn’t Everyone Use Sustainable Printing? The problem of course is that historically printing presses have been a major capital investment. That means the printer is not going to scrap or sell the press until they’ve had their money’s worth out of it. Any other way is commercial suicide. That means unless you search out environmentally friendly printers you’re constrained by the machinery and printing process of the printer you’ve chosen
