dieUmweltDruckerei: Economic, social and ecological sustainability

Low-emission production and resource-saving materials

Successful sustainability projects: Charity bike tour with a bamboo bike

The first project of the eco-printing company in 2017 was a fundraising bike tour using an ecologically produced bamboo bicycle from my Boo . The tour went from Hanover to Minsk in Belarus! For every kilometer cycled, the eco-printing company collected donations to raise awareness about the deforestation of Poland's primeval forests.
