Reuse beats one-and-done Sometimes the greener move is not a more recyclable product. It is a product that gets used again and again – or used in more than one way. When repeat use, multi-purpose design, or longer relevance is realistic, print can support sustainability goals while reducing waste. Where longer-life print can make sense •• Reusable Totes and PolyWeave® Bags. •• Sign systems with replaceable graphics. •• Long-life folders and holders. •• Durable labels and name badge products that reduce replacement frequency. •• Versatile pieces, such as postcards that can work as direct mail, package or bag stuffers, and point-of-purchase counter cards. A smarter way to reduce waste Thoughtful print design can help extend usefulness. A piece is less likely to become obsolete quickly when variable details, short-term offers, or fastchanging information are used carefully and only where they are truly needed. 14 – reusable and longer-life print formats REUSABLE AND LONGER-LIFE PRINT FORMATS A reusable grocery tote used once a week can replace 52 disposable bags a year. The U.S. recorded nearly 135 million households in 2025, with at least one grocery shopper in each. That’s a lot of bags.
