Printing

The ability to demonstrate your environmental credentials within the printing industry is becoming increasingly important, as it climbs up the agenda of print buyers and consumers when considering suppliers. Responding to this change will not only enable your printing company to broaden the range of work that you can handle, but also differentiate yourself from the competition, and make potentially significant cost savings.

Envirowise provides you with practical advice in implementing and improving resource efficiency initiatives. These savings can be made across all areas of the printing sector, from digital and lithographic printing right through to screen printing and offset.

There are a number of key areas covered in these pages that will enable your printing company to benefit from resource efficiency. These include:

• managing VOCs,
• handling and disposing of hazardous waste such as inks,
• water minimisation
• reducing packaging such as cardboard boxes and palettes

The upcoming Digital Printing Good Practice Guide will cover all these areas in one document. Register your interest here to receive a free copy once it is published.
