Printing industry has long been committed to environmental protection
The printing & media industry recognised early on that sustainable and environmentally conscious production is not only essential for the environment but also economically necessary. Numerous measures, such as the reduction of chemicals, professional recycling or the use of natural-based printing inks, have already been implemented. Climate-neutral printing was and is a further logical step towards protecting the environment.
