    Contributing to reducing CO2 emissions, the cause of global warming

    By changing some of the solids contained in ink from the conventional petroleum-derived components to plant-derived components, BOTANICAL INK contributes to the reduction of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere from the perspective of carbon offsetting, where the CO2 absorbed by plants and the CO2 emitted when printed items are burned cancel each other out.
