Carbon Balancing at Barnwell Print
What Is Carbon Balanced Paper?
A paper product becomes Carbon Balanced when the emissions associated with its production are balanced (offset) by the global conservation charity World Land Trust (WLT).
Contributions to the Carbon Balanced programme are used to protect land from deforestation and degradation, ensuring carbon remains locked-up within these invaluable ecosystems and their trees can continue to absorb CO2.
These habitats are being destroyed or degraded at an unprecedented rate, releasing stored carbon into the atmosphere and contributing to between 10 and 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
As a certified Carbon Balance Printer Barnwell Print calculate the paper CO2 impact of your product and will supply a bespoke logo and certificate of conformity. A statement can also be added to your product.

Carbon Charter Gold Certification
Following Barnwell Prints remote assessment in October 2020, I am delighted to inform you the Charter Panel approved accreditation at Gold Level. The Carbon Charter is awarded to organisations that are monitoring and reducing their carbon emissions.
The Gold Charter is only awarded to organisations deemed to be exemplifying best practice in terms of demonstrating significant reductions in carbon emissions and championing the environmental agenda as leaders in their particular field.
The Panel was particularly impressed with Barnwell Print Ltd’s long-standing commitment to reducing their environmental impacts and communicating best practice to a wider audience.
