Environmentally-friendly printing

• Alcohol-free printing

  Thanks to our advanced printing equipment, alcohol is no longer necessary for basic processing. The ink is now less damp, thus preventing undesired splatters. Alcohol-free ink also dries considerably quicker. Consequently, the use of alcohol-free ink not only helps the environment and our employees, but also optimises lead times for your print orders.

• Biodegradable inks

  In our printing inks, components containing mineral oil are replaced by renewable materials such as plant oils. These materials biodegrade more easily and have no effect on the quality of the print results. We also store our inks exclusively in high-volume containers to avoid the waste associated with several small ink cans.

• Sustainable paper usage

  We follow a collective print process. Here, different orders are arranged on sheets of paper in such a way as to ensure that as little paper as possible remains unused. Thanks to our modern equipment, we also use 50% fewer print sheets to set up the print process than with conventional printing machines.
  Our high quality standards in our production processes help us to avoid rejects and production surpluses.
  Unavoidable waste is collected in large containers and then recycled.

• The entire company plays its part

  Every SAXOPRINT employee is committed to reducing consumption of paper, water and fuel. In 2014, we reduced our carbon emissions by 14.6% compared to the previous year. This was based on lower energy consumption through the acquisition of energy-efficient supply systems and equipment, as well as the modernisation of our lighting systems and the use of waste heat from our machines to heat the production facilities. SAXOPRINT is also committed to environmental protection outside of its production halls, providing subsidised tickets for local public transportation.

Everybody can make a conscious decision to help the environment
