Transforming The Future Of Industries Through Sustainable Digital Printing

By Katrina Wheeler


The current activities and efforts employed by various industries shape their future. A number of activities conducted in shaping their future include ways of utilizing available energy, how best to reduce gases emitted through various processes, and completely eliminating the allowed concentration of hazardous substances in the final product. Many companies continue to embrace new practices that will ensure sustainable digital printing. Sustainability has transverses beyond the recycling of various industrial output and waste. It focuses on creating conducive atmosphere for the future generation that will stimulate growth and expansion of various industrial activities.

Location of any industry plays crucial role in sustaining most of its processes and securing a large number of customers. It is therefore important for a firm to operate where it enjoys large market benefits. A firm can reduce transportation cost through promoting deliveries on foot and pickups. Such initiatives developed by industry players ensure reduction in air pollution. In addition, operating cost will be reduced allowing healthy competition with other firms.

Many firms concentrate on production processes forgetting other supplementing services during daily operation. These include lunch activities such as the kind of plates used and other materials which are not used directly as inputs. In such cases, providing reusable containers, bottles and dishes in the lunchroom can see a greater reduction of solid waste disposal. It will further keep the working environment clean and beautiful.

Redesigning industrial processes in the manner they use energy from least to highest minimize possible wastage. Drying process uses a lot of energy which can be reduced by using the best technology in the drying chamber. It ensures the desired temperature is maintained inside the chamber and removes moisture leaving more warmth. Firms should also adopt the use of print that eliminate water in various processes and reduces emissions of volatile organic compounds. Such initiative impacts positively on the environment and guaranteeing workers safe working conditions.

Companies dealing with production of equipment have to uphold quality. Quality dictates its lifespan. It is possible to produce products which will only require little maintenance for as long as a few decades to come. Production of quality equipment will not only see their survival in the market. It will also reduce the release of a harmful substance when early disposal could have been made. It is evident that priority has to be given product quality.

Wastage of output has seen companies incur huge losses. The companies therefore have to employ different ways of monitoring stock. Print on demand can see this inherent problem solved. There are many are many methods that can be used to realize a sustainable future of printing companies. Using scrap paper when it comes to packaging ensure greater utilization of resources.

Printing firms should use biodegradable materials even in producing banners and technical reprographic print such as architectural drawings among others. Applying current technology would see incredible improvement in solid waste disposal and achieving attractive natural environment. More work needs to be done to facilitate production of environmental friendly products.

In order to maintain sustainable digital printing processes, companies have to continue to conduct research on how they can further reduce the impact of these hazardous substances to the environment. Despite the fact that nearly all the companies operate within the permitted concentration levels of these harmful substances, there is need to find the best replacement. A successful research will see this to fruition.
