Sustainability in paper-fibre based products and services to the print, carton board and media sectors
An exciting new range of sustainable metallized paper and board products developed for digital print production, with all of the creative benefits of a metallized polyester but with very important differences ...
It is a certified plastic free product
It is 100% recyclable
A foil board substrate rather than a selective foil embellishment (like hot foil or digital foil), so there are absolutely no limitations in the amount, size, complexity or number of foil colours that can be created at the same time.
The first foil-board material to be approved for dry toner, inkjet and HP digital presses (certification procedure in process).
Proven to run at commercial speeds with no build-up of static delivering significantly higher gloss levels comparable to metallic inks or metallic substrates.
Allows in-line foil embellishment with existing digital press without the need for any additional capex investment.
Enables multiple finishes in one pass, one click.
Recyclable
Ecofoil Digital is 100% recyclable at its end-of-life stage.
An extremely fine layer of metallization (approx. 0.02 microns), equating to less than 1% of the overall finished product, is completely and safely extracted during the de-inking phase of the paper/board recycling process.
This has been independently verified by recognized industry authorities such as Smithers Pira (Ref: S.008909, 2016).
Ecofoil Digital's substrate materials can be recycled between 6 – 8 times into new paper and board products. Thereafter, paper fibre has commercial uses in agricultural and horticultural products.
Sustainable Substrates
Ecofoil Digital is applied to sustainably certified paper and board materials which are completely verifiable and traceable, and the production of these substrates are audited via internationally recognised management systems for environmental, quality and health and safety standards.
Carbon Balanced
Ecofoil Digital's substrate materials are Carbon Balanced (offset) via the World Land Trust.
This means the carbon emissions associated with the production of Ecofoil's substrate materials have been measured and offset via the World Land Trust's REDD+ scheme. This scheme enables increased rates of atmospheric carbon absorption and it also conserves and protects an official area of High Conservation Value that is the home for a number of endangered wildlife species.
Ecofoil Digital products can carry the official Carbon Balanced Paper logo, and customers also qualify for an official World Land Trust certificate to endorse the amount of carbon that has been saved through their use of Ecofoil Digital (www.carbonbalancedpaper.com).
Plastic Free
Ecofoil Digital products are manufactured without a PET top layer and have been certified as plastic free by A Plastic Planet (www.aplasticplanet.com).
