Lintec builds on green initiative with new recycled film

Lintec Europe has a new wet apply film made of recycled components which it has introduced as part of its corporate mission to raise awareness of sustainable manufacturing practices within the graphic, print and visual communication industries. E-2301RC Recycled can be used for UV digital, screen and offset printing applications.

MD Andy Voss said: "An increased awareness of sustainability and the environment is leading companies to re-evaluate their business practices and ensure their products are more eco-friendly. The same goes for the signage and wide-format industries, where a growing number of customers are seeking substrates with green credentials. E-2301RC Recycled provides users with a sustainable alternative to traditional PVC window films." The facestock is manufactured with a minimum of 80% recycled PET material. This recycling method diminishes the consumption of petroleum resources, as well as resulting in a 24% reduction in C02 and 40% less energy used during the film manufacturing process.
