Our environmental efforts never stop growing.
The driving force for us in this work is not money, but the commitment to doing everything we can for a sustainable future. At Åtta.45 Printing, we continuously work to improve our environmental efforts. We view compliance with certification requirements and current environmental legislation as the minimum standard in our environmental work.
At the same time, we are actively working to improve the work environment in both production and office settings. Our ambition is high: to create the industry’s cleanest, most climate-smart, and environmentally friendly print production.

THE NORDIC SWAN ECOLABEL
We’ve been involved from the very beginning. Our license with the Nordic Swan, no. 3041 0001, reveals that Åtta.45 was the first printing company to be licensed to use the Swan label on printed materials. This was long before customers or other printers had awakened to the environmental aspect. For us, environmental thinking has always been a given — and still is.
FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council)
When you choose FSC®, you support the preservation of protected forests, safeguard nature and the climate, and help people achieve a better life. FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council®. By choosing to label a product with FSC, you can be sure that the paper comes from responsibly managed forests.
CLIMATE-COMPENSATED PRINTED MATERIALS
Our environmental work regarding emissions and climate follows a three-step process: Avoid – Minimize – Compensate. First, we review our operations to avoid as much impact as possible. If emissions cannot be avoided, they should be minimized — for example, by changing working methods to reduce environmental impact. Finally, we compensate for remaining emissions through projects from South Pole.
We climate compensate for Scope 1, Scope 2, and parts of Scope 3 in accordance with the GHG Protocol. The calculation includes, among other things, the company’s climate impact from energy, heating, business travel, and transportation. Everything is carefully calculated using ClimateCalc, a calculation tool based on the graphic industry standard defined by the European trade organization Intergraf. In addition, everything in our online store that is produced on paper is climate-compensated. We at Åtta.45 The printing company climate compensates through projects with internationally recognized certification from South Pole.
