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

As a process, basysPrint UV-plate processing is probably the most environmentally friendly platemaking technology of all.

• For chemical processing, it is stable and easy-to-maintain with very wide processing tolerances.
• The high chemistry latitude in the UV plate processor is up to three times longer than digital plates.
• basysPrint UV-plate processing uses environmentally friendly processing chemistry (a 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)
• basysPrint's UV-plate exposing equipment consumes very little energy (2 KWH versus 8.3 KWH with thermo plates)
• The ability to choose from 60 different plate types and plate manufacturers allows for local supply and 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.
