Fespa has re-launched its Planet Friendly Guide as a series of ‘mini’ guides, with one introductory guide and 10 subject-specific guides. All are available free of charge to members of Fespa’s 37 national associations.
The guides now target separate areas where digital and screen printing can be approached with sustainable measures. In addition to the introductory guide entitled ‘Sustainability and the Future - How Can Printers Meet the Challenges?’ the 10 subject guides cover:
• Pollution for Screen Printers
• Pollution for Digital Printers
• Hazardous Substances for Screen Printers
• Emissions to Water for Screen Printers
• Emissions to Air for Screen and Digital Printers
• Waste for Screen Printers
• Waste for Digital Printers
• Paper and Other Substrates for Screen and Digital Printers
• Environmental Management Techniques for Screen Printers
• Energy for Screen and Digital Printers
The above is an amended list. The October issue of Image Reports carries a feature on the changes to the Planet Friendly Guide and provides the mini guide list as correct at the time of going to press at the end of September.
