The Journey Towards Responsible and Eco-Friendly Production
Sustainability is no longer just a trend – it has become a corporate responsibility and a consumer expectation. Eco-friendly solutions influence a company’s reputation, business model, and long-term competitiveness. But how can a company ensure that its actions are genuinely responsible and not just greenwashing?
In 2023, Ecoprint underwent a thorough green audit to assess its climate impact, circular business model, and sustainability capabilities. Based on the audit results, we developed a clear roadmap guiding our transition towards environmentally friendly and resource-efficient production. Today, we share the steps we have taken throughout 2023.
Our Environmental Actions in 2023
100% Renewable Energy Usage
At the beginning of the year, we switched to 100% renewable energy, ensuring that our entire production now operates on solar, wind, and hydro power.
ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 Certifications
In March, Metrosert awarded us internationally recognized ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, confirming that our quality and environmental management meet the highest standards.
Reducing Plastic in Packaging
We replaced PP-film packing tapes with 100% kraft paper tape, which can be recycled along with cardboard packaging.
We switched machine wrap film to a version made from 100% recycled plastic, reducing the use of virgin plastic.
Environmental Awareness Inside and Outside the Company
We trained our employees on environmental topics to foster a responsible mindset across the organization.
We participated in the Tartu Illustration Festival, educating creatives about eco-friendly printing and packaging solutions.
We educated our customers throughout the year, helping them choose more sustainable packaging solutions.
Resource-Efficient Logistics and Production
We switched transportation partners to an environmentally friendlier service provider, reducing the carbon footprint in our supply chain.
We expanded the warehouse space at our Tartu production facility to cut CO₂ emissions from transporting cardboard to the factory.
We developed a digitalization roadmap to make our production processes even more efficient.
Contributing to the Circular Economy
As part of World Cleanup Day, we organized a company-wide clean-up event to contribute to a cleaner environment.
We donated leftover paper from production to kindergartens, giving resources a second life while supporting education.
