Why Switching To Eco Friendly Banners Is Good For Business
In all walks of life there has been, and continues to be, a growing awareness of the damaging climate change we are facing – and the business world is at the forefront of these concerns. Production and manufacture processes and materials are being revised in all industries and especially those that are ‘heavy’ in harmful carbon emissions. The print industry is one such example where the production of many corporate marketing materials use ‘older’ production methods and materials that are not good for the environment and, as such, a revolution is underway in improving these production aspects. Here are some reasons why your company should consider switching to better environmental print practices with eco friendly banner printing amongst them:
Eco Friendly Banners
Switching to producing eco-friendly banners involves using materials that are free from PVC and phthalates more commonly used in ‘traditional’ banner printing. Eco-friendly, recycled banner materials are largely compatible with modern print techniques and processes and should be REACH compliant identifying that they are free from dangerous chemicals.
Environment
The biggest advantage of switching to eco friendly banners production is in helping the environment – most companies, especially in the print arena, which is a notoriously environmentally damaging industry, are making positive changes to production methods and materials to reduce their carbon footprint and tackle harmful carbon emissions. Producing eco-friendly banners will allow them to be recycled effectively and safely once they reach the end of use – PVC and other vinyl banners do not decompose naturally and take up valuable space in ever-reducing landfill sites.
Brand Image
Another major advantage of switching to eco-friendly print methods and materials is that it can greatly enhance and improve your brand image. In a world that is far more aware of environmental responsibility, many consumers, and potential business partners and suppliers, will only want to buy from, or deal with, other companies that are taking their eco responsibilities seriously. This morally responsible stance can also have a positive effect on your bottom-line business revenue as industry and media coverage can highlight your company’s “green” initiatives in lowering your carbon footprint.
Staff Motivation
In the same manner that many customers want to buy from an environmentally responsible company, so employees will want to work for such a business – introducing eco-friendly processes can give employees a sense of pride in their company and therefore a greater motivation in their work efficiency and enthusiasm. When it comes to recruiting new staff for your business, your eco-friendly credentials and reputation will be a positive feature in attracting candidates for your vacancies – people will assume that a company that demonstrates social and moral responsibilities in this area will also take the same approach in the treatment of their staff, therefore making your business a desirable place to work.
Reduced Energy Consumption
Encouraging your staff to reduce energy and water consumption is a positive step for a more eco-friendly production business. Ensuring that all lighting, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units are working efficiently and are turned off when not in use, can greatly reduce your businesses environmental impact, as can refraining from unnecessary water usage.
Other Environmental Considerations
In switching to producing eco-friendly banners you should ensure that you employ effective recycling processes and that you source your materials from suppliers with sustainable practices. Installing renewable technology should be another consideration – solar panelling and air source heat pumps will provide eco-friendly alternatives to more traditional technology sources currently in use.

The Best Banner Type For Your Needs
Choosing between PVC and fabric banners comes down to three critical factors: cost, durability, and functionality. If you're a business owner hosting a quarterly event with many photographers, a fabric banner might be the best choice for you.
You won't have to worry about the unsightly glare on your branding in your pictures with a fabric banner. You'll also have peace of mind knowing that non-toxicroller banner printing and eco-banner printing methods are available, so your banner isn't harmful.
However, PVC banners are your go-to if you're looking for a banner for multiple indoor and outdoor occasions that handle different weather conditions. You'll replace them less frequently than fabric banners.
