Xeikon joins Verdigris as associate member

Verdigris, the environmental initiative from Digital Dots, the graphic arts research group, has announced that Xeikon, a division of Punch Graphix, is supporting the project as an associate member.

Verdigris is a not-for-profit research initiative designed to help printers and their customers understand more about the environmental impact of print media. The goal is to raise awareness of print's positive environmental impact, through content shared with an international network of trade publishers.

‘Punch Graphix is more than committed to a greener future and ecology plays a key role in the design of the end-to-end printing process: from toner production and packaging, through to printing and paper recycling,’ said Frank Van Meenen, global marketing manager at Punch Graphix. ‘Also, corporate social responsibility has always been a key focus point for our management. Therefore we are honored to support the Verdigris Project and pay our contribution to stimulate all printing companies worldwide to strive for a greener future, and to further improve the “green image” of our industry.’

Laurel Brunner, managing director of Digital Dots, said: ‘We welcome Xeikon's participation in the Verdigris project. We are particularly impressed with the way it considers the environmental aspect of each project before embarkation and look forward to working together towards our common goals.’
