  1. Great to see an article like this - something that is close to my own heart and business!

    At printing.com, we are constantly looking to educate on the importance of working with suppliers that have invested the time, money and resources into creating a environmentally-sound business model.

    It can be a minefield and very confusing for the 'lay person' but Ian does a great job of simplifying the topic of FSC-certification.

    Don't settle for less. To do so is simply irresponsible.
