Environment

When designing new products, basysPrint takes key environmental issues into account.

As a process, UV plate processing is probably the most ecology friendly platemaking technology.

•  As for chemical processing, it is stable and easy-to-maintain with very wide processing tolerances.  The high chemistry latitude in the processor is up to three times longer than digital plates.
•  It uses ecology friendly processing chemistry (low alkali, soap like solution that can be poured down the drain; no contamination with heavy metals, silicones or other hazardous components). 
• Chemistry consumption is very low (20-50 ml per m²) 
• Equipment energy consumption is very low (2KWH versus 8,3 KWH with thermo plates) 
• The free choice of plate types and plate suppliers allows local supply, reduces transport.

Eco-objectives. Reducing the recycling cost of basysPrint products and solutions, meeting environment related product standards and customer requirements and minimizing the environmental impact during product life cycle are basysPrint’s eco-goals.

Design strategies. basysPrint aims to attain its eco-objectives through raw material substitution or reduction, process efficiency improvement and energy usage, as well as life cycle and product disposal optimization.

Eco-friendly approach widely recognized. The plant producing basysPrint systems was granted the Belgian Environmental Award for sustainable product development in 2003-2004..
