Sustainable production in the printing industry focuses on promoting responsible and efficient practices that reduce environmental impact and promote the sustainable use of resources. This implies the implementation of measures to efficiently manage resources, in addition to using more sustainable materials and technologies. In this document, you will find recommendations during the design process to reduce the amount of waste generated by poor resource management, in addition, you´ll get information to distinguish a sustainable material for your next design, as well as inspiration from other designers with innovative ideas to contribute to the environment.
Graphic design professionals must adopt practices that minimize waste and promote effective use of resources. Several strategies can be applied at different stages of the design process of pre-press to production, so we will take on the task of gathering the necessary information to contribute to the knowledge of these approaches, within the printing systems, finishes, sustainable production, and what embraces the life cycle of a graphic piece.
