Choose environmentally responsible print on demand. Sustainable materials, recyclable packaging, and eco-friendly production practices that reduce your carbon footprint.

As environmental awareness grows, customers increasingly seek sustainable products and services. Eco-friendly print on demand allows you to offer custom products while minimising environmental impact, appealing to environmentally conscious customers and aligning with your values.
Papello is committed to sustainable printing practices, using eco-friendly materials, recyclable packaging, and responsible production methods. By choosing eco-friendly print on demand, you can build a business that's both profitable and environmentally responsible.
Learn more about our sustainability initiatives and how we're working to reduce the environmental impact of print on demand.
We use FSC-certified papers and sustainable materials in our production process, ensuring responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship.
Most packaging is paper and board that can be recycled at home. A small amount of plastic is used where it protects the product, such as postal tube end caps, and that plastic is recycled in-house. Where a bag is needed, we may use compostable film made in the UK from renewable vegetable starch.
We only print what's ordered, eliminating waste from excess inventory and unsold products. This reduces material waste and energy consumption.
Our UK facility means shorter shipping distances for UK customers, reducing transport emissions and carbon footprint compared to overseas production.
We use environmentally responsible inks in our production process, minimising harmful chemicals and reducing environmental impact.
Paper and board packaging can go in household recycling. Compostable bags, when we use them, are certified to OK biobased and DIN EN 13432 and break down into carbon dioxide, water and compost.
Many customers actively seek eco-friendly products and services. By offering sustainable print on demand, you can attract and retain customers who value environmental responsibility, potentially commanding premium prices for eco-friendly products.
Eco-friendly print on demand helps reduce your business's environmental impact:
If environmental responsibility is important to you, eco-friendly print on demand allows you to build a business that aligns with your values while still being profitable and competitive.
As environmental regulations become stricter and customer expectations evolve, choosing eco-friendly practices now positions your business for long-term success in a more environmentally conscious market.
We use FSC-certified papers for our posters and art prints, ensuring responsible forest management and sustainable sourcing. FSC certification guarantees that paper comes from responsibly managed forests.
Many of our products are made from recyclable materials:
We do not describe our packaging as plastic-free. Most of what we send is paper and board. Some orders need a small amount of plastic so the product arrives safely.
Compostable film breaks down into carbon dioxide, water and compost. That can happen in a home composter or a commercial facility. Commercial composting is warmer, so it is quicker. As a guide, the film is specified to break down in about 45 days at a steady 58°C.
The materials depend on the product. Posters in tubes, for example, use recyclable end caps. Bags, when they are used, are the compostable film described above.
Environmental Benefit: Print on demand eliminates the waste associated with traditional manufacturing. By only producing what customers order, we reduce material waste, energy consumption, and environmental impact compared to bulk production methods.
