Greenhouse Graphics' green supply chain

Award winning graphics company, Greenhouse Graphics, based in Basingstoke, has become the latest company to boost its environmental credentials by installing Fujifilm's Brillia HD Pro-T processless plate. The plates are being run on a Screen PlateRite 4300E platesetter.

Ian Crossley, managing and technical director, said: "The environment is right at the top of our agenda. Finding a reliable, robust processless plate was pivotal in our drive to get rid of hazardous waste from our printing process. We thoroughly researched the market and following recommendations from both our print supplier, Apex Digital Graphics, and from Heidelberg, we opted for Fujifilm's Pro-T plate.

'With our customers becoming increasingly focused on environmental performance, it is important that we can become part of their green supply chain. By using Pro-T we have eliminated chemicals from our plate making process and increased our efficiency, resulting in better pricing for our customers. We win, our customers win and, most importantly, the environment wins.'

Greenhouse Graphics has developed a brand called the EcoPrint-System4, which encompasses a series of environmental initiatives that ensures that the company's process of producing lithographic print demonstrates environmental sustainability without compromising quality, price or speed of production.
