Xeikon supports green printing at Labelexpo

Frank Vanmeenen, Global Marketing Manager Punch Graphix International is excited about the Green Park initiative: "At Xeikon, we want to make environmentally friendly production a reality. Our aim is to minimize the environmental impact of our products throughout their entire lifespan, and reduce the recycling costs of our presses, consumables, and the printed material they produce. Not only do we want our products to comply with existing environmental directives, we adopt best practice so that we’re better placed to comply with future standards. To this end, it’s very fitting that we sponsor the Green Award."

Lode Deprez, Vice President Toner & Developer Group at Punch Graphix International, highlights numerous initiatives undertaken to support the company’s green message: "We aim to meet our eco-objectives by using alternative raw materials or by reducing the amount of raw materials we use; by improving production process efficiency and reducing waste generation; by optimizing energy consumption and product lifecycles; and by improving product disposal and recyclability.

“It’s also worth remembering that some digital printing technologies are more environmentally friendly than others. Recyclability of printed matter is just one of the many benefits dry toner electro photography has over other technologies. Xeikon presses in particular minimize the impact on the environment and guarantee eco-friendly production of printed material."
