Heidelberg Launches 'Green Printing' Web Portal

While browsing the “Green Printshop,” visitors will learn which Heidelberg products can shrink their environmental footprint by reducing paper waste, energy consumption, VOC emissions and ink residues.

A third section, “Green Resources”, compiles third-party tools and information on green printing and sustainability. It includes links to industry associations, environmental councils— such as the Sustainable Green Printing Partnership or special programs from the EPA — carbon calculators, chain-of-custody certifications like SFI and FSC, government resources and information on green design. A special subsection on “Making Green Claims” offers guidelines for distinguishing legitimate green marketing claims from spurious competing claims.
