Plastic packaging virtually free from problematic materials
Sustainability is for us at druck.at of great importance. As part of the Cimpress family, we take our Commitment to environmental protection ernst. In recent years, we have already taken a number of measures to reduce our use of plastic packaging. Specifically, this means that we all problematic plastic materials such as PVC and polystyrene removed from our packaging process have. Instead, we rely on sustainable and environmentally friendly materialswhich are recyclable, reusable and compostable.
Markus Graf, Managing Director and Production Manager at druck.at: “We are aware of how difficult it is for a printing company, as an industrial business, to take active steps towards environmental protection. However, we have set ourselves the goal of actively implementing the measures that are feasible within our company. In the past, we used plastic packaging to protect printed materials such as brochures, leaflets, business cards, posters and other promotional materials during dispatch. We will no longer use this packaging in future, as part of our commitment to adopting an environmentally friendly approach. We can now proudly say that we have managed to reduce this problematic plastic packaging by 96.91 per cent.”
In addition, we have at druck.at reduced the overall use of plastic packaging across the company by 50 per cent. To this end, we have taken the following measures:
- Use of foam cushions as edge protection made from 100% recycled material
- Foam cubes have been replaced by paper alternatives
- Switch from plastic bubble wrap to bubble wrap made from 100% recycled material
- Elimination of plastic protective parts
- Switch from plastic adhesive tape to paper adhesive tape
