Question 1
Among these communication activities, which one(s) contribute(s) to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions?
Incomplete answer…
All media have an ecological footprint and contribute to GHG emissions. Moreover, all web solutions are powered by servers that are constantly in operation. These incessant operations are extremely energy-intensive and produce considerable GHGs. Experts predict that servers will account for 10% of global electricity consumption by 2030 and generate more emissions than the entire airline industry.

Well done, good answer!
All media have an ecological footprint and contribute to GHG emissions. Moreover, all web solutions are powered by powerful computers (servers) constantly running and require huge amounts of electricity and constant cooling to ensure their operation. These incessant operations are extremely energy-intensive and produce considerable GHGs. Experts predict that servers will account for 10% of global electricity consumption by 2030 and generate more emissions than the entire airline industry.
Question 2
What portion of the tree is used to make paper pulp?
Oops, wrong answer!
It is the small branches at the top of the tree, the rejects and the residues of the lumber that are transformed into pulp. You don’t cut trees to make paper pulp. It is rather to make lumber and flooring that the trunk and most of the tree are used.

Question 3
Choosing partially or fully recycled paper or large format media helps reduce its impact on the environment.
Incomplet answer…
Choosing a partially or fully recycled print medium avoids the environmental impacts associated with producing paper using virgin fibre. However, it should be noted that the de-inking process required to transform old paper into new white recycled paper also produces GHGs. It is for this reason that it is equally important to reduce the ink coverage that we apply to the print.

Question 4
What does it mean if your printer is FSC® certified?
Incomplete answer…
The FSC® chain of custody certification ensures respectful and sustainable treatment of forest products for each stage of processing from the forest (logging, manufacturing, marketing) to the consumer. FSC®-certified printers are part of this equation through their supply and printing operations of FSC®-certified papers. The reliability of this certification is recognized worldwide due to its very high requirements and strict standards that are audited among certified stakeholders.

Question 5
There are always recycled fibers in FSC® certified papers.
Oops, wrong answer!
FSC®-certified paper can be made entirely of virgin (non-recycled) fibre as long as it comes from FSC®-certified forests.

Question 6
What are the benefits of eco-inking (reduction of ink coverage on printed matter)?
Incomplete answer…
Eco-inking offers all of these benefits. By reducing the quantities of inks used in printing, eco-inking minimizes the use of certain non-renewable resources found in the ink (mineral pigments, solvents and other chemical products).
De-inking is an essential step in the recycling of printed paper. Eco-inking reduces the consumption of chemicals and energy required during this step, because the processing of papers with less ink coverage is simplified and produces less waste.

Question 7
To reduce the environmental impacts of a print, all you have to do is make sure it is recyclable.
Oops, wrong answer!
The fact that a print is recyclable is one of the elements that contribute to reducing its ecological footprint, but it is not the only thing to consider. The other stages of your product’s life cycle also have an impact: supply, manufacturing processes and transport are important factors to study to reduce the ecological footprint of your communication tools.
