My Journey to Sustainable Green Production

I’ve been working in New York City for 15 years specializing in Fashion Marketing, Design, Photo-Retouching, Web and Print Production.

When I became a Creative Production Manager for a large retail brand I became more aware of all the waste and materials put out there for quick monthly marketing, how quickly those materials replaced due to damages and discarded for new promotions. I looked for ways to change our systems, investing in evergreen materials, using both sides of banners to flip out promotions but it wasn’t enough.

With the amount of marketing going out each month it’s not enough to ensure the most thorough use of each substrate you need to partner with printers and production houses that use best practices for the environment. Sustainable Green Partnership is the leading non-profit accreditation organization that promotes sustainability in printing practices and manufacturing operations. They hold printers and production houses accountable for their impact on the environment. Using a printer that has gone through the process of certification ensures the smallest carbon footprint on the environment is taken. By simply switching to a SGP printer your company will be reducing landfill waste, using sustainable sourced materials, saving energy and reducing waste.
