EFI backs Verdigris
EFI has come out in support of the Verdigris environmental initiative by becoming an associate member.
Verdigris, launched at Drupa 2008, is a not-for-profit research collaboration which aims to help printers and their customers develop a better understanding about the environmental impact of print media.
"As the leading pioneer in inkjet technologies, software, inks and machines, EFI continues to drive the solvent to UV-curable transition to bring greener practices to all related manufacturing and production processes,” said Marc Verbiest of EFI. “Our mission is straightforward in that it intends to educate and fulfil the needs of every print service provider, encouraging more sustainable working methods and practices for businesses of all sizes.
EFI achieves this by designing and developing print engines inks and software platforms that lead to greater efficiencies throughout workflow, production and MIS. These innovative principles, in turn, assist companies wanting to achieve a reduced carbon footprint, minimize levels of product and energy waste, and generate greater eco-awareness and responsibility.
Laurel Brunner of Verdigris, said: “We are really pleased to have EFI on board. EFI integrates environmental considerations into all of its projects and we are looking forward to working with them to continue raising the awareness of print’s sustainability”.
