Carbon Capture

Carbon Capture Programme

As a responsible supplier, Trade Card Blanks and its sister company AutoPrint, are members of the Carbon Capture Programme which supports the Woodland Trust.

 

What is Carbon Capture®?

  • A method of mitigating CO2 emissions and provides a reduced carbon solution for organisations.
  • Creates native woodland in the UK and provides habitats for wildlife and green spaces for all to enjoy.
  • A demonstration of an organisations values and responsible approach to the environment.

 

How Does it Work?

  • The average amount of CO2 emitted from the manufacture and distribution of a tonne of paper has been calculated.
  • The Calculation has been verified by the Woodland Trust using Carbon Trust and DEFRA figures.
  • An organisation elects to Carbon Capture their paper purchases and the amount is shown as a separate line on invoices.
  • 100% of the Carbon Capture charge goes directly to the Woodland Trust without any deductions.

 

What we’ve achieved

  • 66,712 tonnes of CO2 captured – that’s as heavy as around 13,500 elephants!
  • Over £1.1 million raised for the Woodland Trust to date.
  • Over 266,000 trees planted (166.78 hectares) so far – that’s enough to stretch over 142 miles – roughly the distance from London to Sheffield if planted in a straight line.
