Tharstern has released its latest TharsternTV series which focuses on carbon footprinting for printers and converters.
Working alongside CarbonQuota and print provider Gecko, the company has put together three episodes to give printers a helping hand to reduce their carbon footprint.
Amanda Newman, head of marketing at Tharstern, said, ‘Becoming more sustainable is a topic at the forefront of many people’s minds these days, but a lot of businesses still aren’t sure whether they should venture down this path yet, if the return on investment is going to be there and how on earth they’re going to get started. The Sustainability Show addresses this and helps viewers learn how starting their decarbonisation journey could help them reduce costs, bring them more customers and lower their environmental impact too.”’
In the new chat show style series, Tharstern‘s Ross Edwards talks to Dominic Harris, the co-founder of carbon measurement experts CarbonQuota about how printers can reduce emissions, how they are measured and how to follow international standards on carbon footprinting. Mr Edwards also talks to Chris Bottomley, managing director at Leeds-based direct mail and digital print provider Gecko about their journey to becoming carbon neutral.
The series also delves into an integration between CarbonQuota and Tharstern’s MIS solution, which was first developed from an introduction by Gecko’s MD who wanted to add the carbon footprint of each job onto his quotes and orders. The integration has allowed Gecko to measure carbon emissions in real-time and provides both a monetary cost and a climate cost on each quote produced. An option for offsetting the carbon of each job is also included.
