Provided at no extra cost, the St Neots-based printer’s tool – which it claimed is a first for the UK large-format industry – will precisely calculate the carbon emissions of each material, vehicle, and installation process used in every print project.

Moss said clients will be given a true and accurate summary of their project’s entire emissions footprint from the outset and enable easier evaluation of potential alternatives. 

Expressed in CO2e, the tool calculates the impact of each material selected, its printing, installation, and transportation. All data has been mapped to Moss UK’s material stock system and independently checked and verified by sustainability consultant Green Circle Solutions.

The background information provides detailed analytics of each print material and substrate.

Moss said the Carbon Emissions Report will ensure clients have the necessary Scope 3 data required by government carbon reporting regulations, saving time and money in producing this information themselves. 

With the launch, Moss said it aims to raise awareness and initiate new conversations about how to reduce carbon emissions across branding and print projects.

For example, the carbon benefits of using products such as SustainaTex Ocean and the SustainaBacklit materials, made from recycled ocean plastic, compared to virgin products will be much clearer to see, the company said.

Moss UK operations director Mark Rose said: “In this industry, information is power, and we are delighted to be able to provide our clients with accurate sustainability data for each product or service we supply.

“By making this an integral part of our quotations, they can now make informed and effective decisions in the reduction of their carbon footprint.”

Having lowered its carbon emissions by 16% per square metre since 2019, Moss aims to hit a 50% reduction by 2030 and thereafter drive on to net zero.

“Sustainability is key to our business in the UK and globally across the wider Moss Group,” said Rose.

“By providing our clients with accurate facts and suitable alternative options, we are helping broaden their awareness of energy and carbon use and ultimately reducing the impact we all have as an industry.”

Last month, Moss UK took on a new 100sqm office in London’s historic Tobacco Dock, giving it a base of operations within the city.

The business enjoyed strong performance in 2024, growing 13% to around £16m turnover.
