Print Advocacy


By connecting the dots between print and the private landowners who own almost 60 percent of U.S. woodlands, “Print Grows Trees” challenges the widely held belief that by using less paper, trees will be saved.

  


There are many misconceptions about the environmental impact of print on paper. Printers and their suppliers use trees as the starting point of their products, many people think that by forgoing printing, they are saving trees and making the right choice for the environment.
However, the exact opposite is true.

 

PPI Members have access to utilize these logos, utilize the facts and spread the truth about print. Email PPI (jules@ppiassociation.org) to request logos.

 


Tools and resources courtesy of Printing Industries of America to help printers promote print and provide information to print buyers from a variety of sources. Includes member’s only access to the “Fine Print” PR Toolkit.


For the promotion of print media through education, awareness and research. PPI is an affiliate partner of this effort. PPI is an associate member supporting these ongoing efforts.
