Royal Mail have recently launched a scheme to incentivise businesses to make their
Door to Door mailings carbon neutral and encourage consumers to recycle the items
they receive.
Royal Mail’s Carbon Neutral Door to Door scheme makes it easier for
companies to reduce the carbon footprint of their mailing by giving them advice 
on the types of paper, inks and varnishes to use as well ensuring effective targeting
of the campaign.

After carbon impact has been minimised in line with scheme standards, Royal Mail
calculates the remaining CO2 emissions generated by the mail campaign and pays to
offset through schemes such as the Woodland Trust’s Carbon Plus+, which plants native
trees in the UK.
