About GREENWORKS
Many printing companies today are eagerly adopting greener policies. Print shop owners, managers, employees and customers are thinking more than ever before about future generations. In support of this crucial trend, Agfa, an early proponent of the need for greener technologies, policies and procedures, created the Agfa Environmental Recognition Awards in 2007. That program has evolved into GreenWorks and will go further toward helping Agfa’s customers maximize the results of their green efforts, while giving Agfa a broader platform to spread the word about the need for environmental responsibility. To become part of Agfa’s GreenWorks program, printing companies must be users of Agfa’s ThermoFuse™ platemaking technology. This includes the top-selling, chemistry-free :Azura plate and the low-chemistry :Amigo plate, both of which have significantly reduced the impact on the environment as compared to conventional digital or analog plates. In addition, GreenWorks printers must also demonstrate that they active in other environmental initiatives, as well as being involved in other efforts such as recycling, reducing waste, or using alternative energy sources in their plants. |
