Digital Inkjet: Driving Sustainability in Print
At SCREEN, we are pioneering sustainability solution in the printing industry by delivering cutting-edge digital inkjet technology that supports a more environmentally friendly production workflow while also continuing to improve printing flexibility and efficiency.
Minimising Waste
Unlike traditional analogue methods that rely on cumbersome tooling like flexo plates or gravure cylinders—both of which require chemicals for production and disposal—our inkjet presses allow business to produce only what they need, exactly when they need it, avoiding overproduction waste and chemical waste from the tooling processes.
These print-on-demand capabilities empower brands to adapt quickly to shifting market demands by reducing the risk of overproduction. Fewer stockpiles of pre-printed materials mean less waste and fewer emissions from the storage and transportation of surplus goods, minimising their environmental impact while streamlining their operations.
Sustainable Water-Based Inks
Our highly formulated water-based inks offer a cleaner, safer alternative to solvent-based inks that release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that require costly disposal or regeneration processes, making compliance with strict environmental regulations much simpler.
For sensitive applications like food and pharmaceutical labelling, we offer low-migration UV inks, specially formulated and fully compliant with existing environmental and consumer safely guidelines.
Energy-Efficient Engineering
Our printing presses are designed to maximise energy efficiency, significantly reducing electricity consumption and lowering carbon emissions. By offering cutting-edge energy-efficient engineering, we empower our customers to meet sustainability goals while benefiting from reduced energy costs.
These energy-conscious designs contribute to overall lower CO2 emissions when evaluated as part of a printed product’s Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
Empowering Business through Sustainability
We believe that in addition to being a goal and vital responsibility for printing businesses, sustainability is also an invaluable opportunity.
SCREEN digital print solutions enable companies to unlock new revenue streams, comply with the latest environmental standards and regulations such as the European (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) PPWR, and satisfy the growing consumer demand for eco-conscious products, all while continuing to optimise printing quality and efficiency.
Looking Ahead: A Greener Tomorrow
As we look to the future, SCREEN will continue to push the boundaries of sustainable printing.
