Eco-Friendly & Ethical Printing
How Eco-Friendly Printing Makes A Difference
Things That Make Us Green…
At Asheville Print Shop & Screenprinting, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and offer biodegradable, recyclable and responsible materials and products that contribute to green living. Our eco-friendly products and practices help conserve resources like water and energy, and prevent contributions to air, water, and land pollution. We’re proud of what we’re doing to save our environment, so why not join us?
Recycled Paper
Is being offered as an option for a wide variety of print jobs, from business cards to fliers and more. Paper that is disposed of in the landfill decomposes and emits methane gas, which is able to trap heat in the atmosphere, being a big contributor to climate change. By using less energy, water, and producing less emissions, recycled paper demonstrates a commitment to the environment by being the greenest and cleanest option for digital printing.
Responsibly Forested Papers
Responsibly managed forests are necessary for the maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystems services, both on individual sites and within the wider landscape. Forest management, including intensive commercial management, can be a critical and cost-effective conservation tool within larger-scale conservation strategies. We can help secure a long-term sustainable source of paper and demonstrate commitment to responsible forestry.
Eco-Friendly Apparel
When sustainability is our goal, the most effective thing we can do is put our money where our values are. We offer a wide variety of eco-friendly garment options including organic cotton, hemp and bamboo fabrics. Eco-friendly clothing casts a wide reaching net that touches more than the environment. Every time we make a conscious decision to support an eco-friendly business with our purchases, we become a part of positive change. When we all do our own small part, together we have a great impact!

Sustainable Inks
The majority of screen printing companies use plastisol ink because they are simple to use, inexpensive and durable. Soy-based ink is a great alternative to traditional plastisol printing. It produces the same kind of vibrant prints, the ink will keep quality after repeated washing over time like plastisol ink, and is versatile enough to print on shirts, tanks, sweatshirts, tote bags, koozies, and many more items.
Water Based Apparel Inks
Is much less risky for printers, consumers, and the environment. In addition, because it’s water soluble, no specialized chemicals are required for its clean up. This keeps potentially harmful substances out of our waste and water supply. Water based ink products can maintain the quality that our consumers demand, while also forwarding the goal of being stewards of the ecosystem we all share.
Printing Waste
Every print shop produces some waste. Therefore, the goal has to be to generate the least amount of waste as possible. By choosing to recycle and conserve materials, we save energy and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, which benefits our community and protects natural habitats for the future.
