What means "climate-neutral"?

"Carbon-neutral" refers to businesses, processes or products, whose greenhouse gas emissions were calculated and offset through the purchase of emission allowances. Climate neutrality means that the "thing" described as climate-neutral, eg a product or service, does not change the CO2 balance of the atmosphere. Therefore, climate-neutral means either that the "thing" produces zero emissions, also when it is being used and disposed of (which is rare), or that the resulting greenhouse gas emissions can be saved elsewhere, so that the negative effect is neutralized and a climatic equilibrium is created.

What is "climate-neutral printing"?

"Climate-neutral printing" refers to print productions whose greenhouse gas emissions were calculated and offset by the purchase of emission allowances. ClimatePartner has developed a standardized method for print and media productions with which to calculate the emissions of an individual print product - on request and expense of the print companys customer and to offset these by investing in approved climate protection projects.
