Smartpress Achieves Environmental Milestone with Sustainable Hemp

CHANHASSEN, Minn., July 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Printing can get a bad rap. Naysayers argue it's not sustainable and it's cutting down all our trees. Fortunately, times (and processes) have changed. Majorly. Online printer Smartpress is honoring World Nature Conservation Day by putting the spotlight on paper sustainability and eco-friendly stocks.

The 100% carbon neutral company just launched an array of nearly 20 products that can be printed on sustainable hemp stock. It's another milestone that proves Smartpress' commitment to decreasing their environmental impact and lead the industry in sustainable printing.

Smartpress also offers other "green" stocks like recycled paper that's certified as being sourced responsibly from thriving forests. And they're indeed thriving - see how and why: https://smartpress.com/blog/features/paper-sustainability-why-printing-with-smartpress-is-eco-friendly

Why is Smartpress' hemp paper so eco-friendly?

• It's made of 30% hemp fibers, 40% recycled fibers and 30% FSC certified virgin pulp, sustainably sourced through conscious growing practices.
• Hemp paper can be recycled up to eight times, with the plants themselves growing much more quickly and densely than trees.
• The plants don't require chemical controllers since they're naturally resistant to fungi, insects and diseases.
