Sustainability initiatives and eco-friendly branding are an important part of appealing to modern buyers. Your digital printing business can take a few simple steps to improve your environmental branding to target these eco-conscious buyers:
You can boost your environmental branding by offering and promoting a line of printing products made from recycled materials that reduce waste and protect the planet.
Eco-friendly window graphics from LINTEC of America are made from a minimum of 80% recycled PET plastics from sources like plastic water bottles. Our ECO-2000 ZC window film provides digital printers with an environmentally friendly recycled product that was specifically designed for use in UV Ink-Jet presses.
A focus on renewable and recyclable materials can diminish the consumption of petroleum resources in production while also reducing CO2 emissions. For example, up to 40% of PET plastic’s energy use is trapped within the raw materials. Recycling PET plastic is a great way to recapture and reuse that energy.
The result? Our eco-friendly recycled digital window graphics slash CO2 emissions by 24% and the energy used in the production process by 40%. Just one ton of recycled PET saves 48 million BTUs of energy and eliminates 3,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions compared to new plastic.
Many eco-conscious building owners are interested in distinguishing their building for it’s environmentally friendly features. There are few better ways to do this than with a framed LEED certification that attests to the sustainable nature of the building.
Did you know that eco-friendly window graphics can contribute towards a building’s application for LEED certification? It’s possible to earn a LEED point when at least 25% of its materials have a minimum of 20% post-consumer recycled content or 40% post-industrial recycled content. LEED rewards the use of recycled printing materials, and you can give your customers a heads up that your products can help.
