Sustainability
When creating physical media, it is essential to consider the entire life cycle of that item.
- Avoid plastics, especially expanded foam products (ex. foam core board) unless you plan to reuse it and it is not a one-time use item
- Return our packing supplies (paper boxes/tubes/manilla envelopes) for Fast Copy to reuse
- Have a stack of scrap paper? Consider having us pad them into notepads for note-taking
