How to write your thesis and remain sustainable

Wie du deine Abschlussarbeit schreibst und dabei nachhaltig bleibst

Writing your thesis is an exciting but also challenging time. It requires organization, discipline and creativity. But have you ever thought about how you can make the whole process more sustainable? At PYEB, your environmentally friendly printing company, the environment is just as important to us as your success. Here you will find tips on how to write your thesis stress-free - and do something good for the environment at the same time.

1. Planning is half the success

Before you sit down at your desk, you should create a clear plan:

  • Time management : Divide your work into smaller sections and set realistic deadlines. This will keep you motivated.
  • Choice of topic : Choose a topic that is not only scientifically relevant but also something that excites you. You may want to choose a topic related to sustainability, such as "The importance of recycling in the packaging industry."
  • Collect materials : Try to use as many sources as possible digitally. Tools like Zotero or Mendeley help you keep track of everything – and you save a lot of paper.

2. Work sustainably – even when writing

You can also act in an environmentally conscious way during the writing process itself:

  • Stay paperless : Write your drafts and notes digitally. Programs like Google Docs or Scrivener make this easy.
  • Save energy : Put your laptop in power saving mode and make sure to only use light when you really need it.
  • Green breaks : Treat yourself to little breaks with fair trade coffee or tea – and use reusable cups.

3. Design your thesis – but sustainably

Once the text is ready, it's time to think about the design and formatting. Here, too, you can think sustainably:

  • Fonts and layouts : Choose economical fonts like Garamond, which use less ink.
  • Paper-saving settings : Use narrow margins and print double-sided if you need to print drafts.
  • Digital submission : Ask your university whether digital submission is possible – this often not only saves paper, but also stress.

4. Sustainable printing with PYEB

As the big deadline day approaches, you want to make sure your work is printed in the best quality. This is where PYEB comes in:

  • Environmentally friendly paper : We only use certified paper, in high-quality 100g grammage.
  • Sustainable bindings : We use solvent-free, vegan bookbinding glue for our adhesive binding.
  • Climate-neutral printing : With our climate-neutral printing process, you are actively contributing to environmental protection.

💡 Tip : Choose a plastic-free alternative for binding your work – we will be happy to advise you.

5. What happens after submission?

Even after submission, you can remain sustainable:

  • Share knowledge : Upload your work to platforms like ResearchGate and make it accessible to others.
  • Create lasting memories : Have a few copies printed to give to friends or family – in an environmentally friendly way with PYEB, of course.

6. Conclusion: Your success, thought sustainably
