GREEN IS A NECESSITY

Shortage of non-renewable resources

Energy over-demand

CO2 emissions

Global warming

Deforestation

Climate change

THE FUTURE WILL BE

DARK IF WE DON’T GO

GREEN

Looking at this gloomy outlook, governments, industries and associations are reacting.

As a result of this increasing green awareness, the EUROPEAN UNION is issuing Directives to combat climate change, preserve biodiversity, reduce health problems from pollution and use natural resources more responsibly:

Climate change

Environmental health

Sustainable development

Independent and non-governmental organizations are also promoting eco-friendly activities. In the case of the PAPER INDUSTRY, three main independent organizations are working to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.

SUSTAINABILITY IN THE GRAPHIC INDUSTRY

The introduction in the graphic market of more environmentally-

friendly materials and printing processes is not a trend but the

response of this industry to a global green necessity.

• UVI printers

• Water-based, Eco-solvent inks

• Environmental-friendly substrates: FALCONBOARD

The range of environmental products and systems is growing all

the time:

GREEN AWARENESS IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT IN THE GRAPHIC INDUSTRY

Why to walk by the green track hand in hand with FALCONBOARD?

Unlike traditional foam boards made from plastics (PE, PU, PS and PVC), FALCONBOARD fulfills all requirements for greener printing practices.

• 100% Recyclable

• Only graphic display board made of natural,

renewable virgin and recycled paper honeycomb

material

• Renewable and reusable

• Consists of recycled core with white clay-coated or

natural linerboard facings

• Emits zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

• Free of hazardous substances

• SFI label certification

SUSTAINABILITY KEY FEATURES

BENEFITS

• Reduces costs of disposal

• Printing capabilities better to foam boards; offers

same printing quality on a greener graphic substrate

• Excellent flatness and printability

• Outstanding rigidity

Hexacomb® - The structure

The honeycomb structure is the most effective core structure

regarding pressure resistance,

structural integrity and the amount of

material applied.

Paper is the most efficient core

material regarding

cost/weight/performance
