What do we mean by
carbon neutral art printing?

West of Death is an end-to-end carbon neutral service.

This means we minimize our energy usage and use suppliers of renewable energy.

Where unavoidable, we offset all of our carbon emissions.

​

How did we achieve carbon neutrality?

​

1. Minimizing carbon emissions

The first step to achieve carbon neutrality was reducing our emissions. We have done this by using green couriers where available,

only using renewable energy suppliers.

We use print facilities globally, this means we can reduce air travel when shipping your orders.

​

2. Calculating unavoidable emissions

Once we have reduced our emissions as much as possible we are audited by carbonfootprint.com to calculate our carbon impact.

This report includes our performance, a breakdown of our footprint and further recommendations to minimize our footprint.

​

3. Carbon emission offsetting

We then offset our carbon emissions via The Gold Standard, and help fund projects for a safer climate and more sustainable world.

It is our policy to not use forestry-based carbon offsetting projects, instead we invest in renewable energy projects.

This is in line with WWF guidance.

​

We know that offsetting alone will not tackle climate change,

however it is an immediate and measurable method to take responsibility for our carbon footprint.

After extensive research we found that investing in renewable energy was the most effective way to offset,

as it provides infinite energy supply with instant effect.

Sustainable packaging

Being carbon neutral is not the whole story, at West of Death we are concerned about plastic pollution.

The materials we use to produce your orders have been carefully selected to reduce our impact

on the environment whilst still ensuring your orders get to you in perfect condition.
