The Carbon Trust has called for print bodies to set an example to the rest of the industry by applying for the next wave of Networks Initiative funding for carbon reduction projects.
Funding bands of up to £30,000 or £140,000 are on offer to organisations that want to take action on climate change and cut carbon emissions.
Applicants for funding are required to produce a plan by 9 January 2008 outlining how their initiatives will save carbon.
The grants can also be used to develop specific technical guidance and toolkits to help industries manage their carbon reduction measures more effectively.
Carbon Trust chief executive Tom Delay told printweek.com: "Trade and professional bodies have an important role to play in championing carbon reduction measures across the print industry.
"With as much as £140,000 of funding available for a wide range of initiatives – from development of specific technical guidance to energy efficiency projects – we can support groups that want to highlight the cost of wasted energy and take action to reduce carbon emissions in the sector."
