ecoDesign ecoPrint

  Overview

From its inception in 1992, ecoDesign ecoPrint's core focus has been on providing design and print solutions that minimise the impact on the environment. With a passion for detail and a commitment to exceeding customer expectations, we have built a reputation as a reliable, ethical and quality-driven company. Our environmental management system is certified to ISO14001 standards and we also have ISO9001 certification. In 2007 we also achieved Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody Certification (COC), giving our customers the opportunity to support the growth of responsible forest management worldwide by buying print with the FSC label.

  Competitive Advantages

As our name suggests, ecoDesign ecoPrint emphasises solutions that take into account our customers’ environmental objectives as well as their marketing and budget objectives. We are finding more and more organisations are recognising the importance of a triple bottom line approach to doing business but are often unsure how to go about it.

Most people think only of recycled paper as a way of 'doing their bit for the environment.' However, there are many other environmental issues we consider when providing our customers with environmentally sound design and print solutions. Using vegetable-oil-based inks, alcohol-free printing presses, water-based cleaning agents, wastewater dilution tanks and minimising energy and waste products are just a few of the other issues we have addressed.

  Technology & Services

ecoDesign ecoPrint uses recycled papers that are high in post-consumer waste content and either totally chlorine free (TCF) or elemental chlorine free (ECF). We also plan our jobs carefully at the design stage to avoid wasting paper. We use 100% vegetable-oil-based inks made from soya beans instead of the traditional printing inks made from petroleum oil with a high volatile organic compound (VOC) content. We also minimise the use of solvents and only use the most environmentally safe cleaning solutions, including Envirosolve Roller and Blanket Wash, BIO Plate, Bio Rubber Roller Rejuvenator, Bio Deglaze Liquid Roller & Blanket Deglazer and Citrapro Handcleaner. The Press Control Fountain Solution used by ecoDesign ecoPrint allows us to run our printing presses completely alcohol-free, whereas most printers use 8-12%.
