How Sustainability is Shaping the Future of the Printing Industry
OVERVIEW
ABOUT:
A renewed intensity in sustainability has emerged with new focuses on climate change, biodiversity, microplastics, ocean plastics, circular economy, environmental, social, & governance (ESG) scoring, and extended producer responsibility (EPR). At one time, the pressure for sustainability was driven by voluntary initiatives that included brands, print customers, consumers, and the workforce. Now that governments across the world, including here in the U.S., are passing laws and regulations governing many aspects of sustainability, integrating sustainability as a business principle, is here to stay.
Join us as we review the current state of sustainability and the intersection of sustainability, circular economy, and ESG. We will review recent laws and regulations, their impact on your business, and provide a glimpse of how these forces are shaping the future of sustainability and the printing industry.
