MS Printing Solutions Green Label Award Supports Sustainable Technologies On World Environment Day 2022
There is #OnlyOneEarth. Protecting it is a global challenge and a global responsibility.
"As voters and consumers we must make our actions count: from the policies we support, to the food we eat, to the transport we choose, to the companies we support," UN Secretary-General António Guterres stressed on Sunday's #WorldEnvironmentDay.
"We can all make environmentally friendly choices that will add up to the change we need."
MS Printing Solutions with its new Green Label award delivers advanced technology theourgh its EVO digital textile printing systems that respond to the rapidly changing environmental demands of the market with innovative solutions.
The company, took their first step in 2011 to reduce chemical waste, CO2 emissions and water consumption by designing the Lario single-pass digital printing machine.
Its design was the first in a long line of printing machines that support the sustainable production chain of textile printing companies.
In addition, especially with the pandemic, as the demand for online shopping has increased in recent years and the time to market has been shortened, it has been seen that digital textile printing offers an effective solution to the new environmental needs of their clients.
The MS knowledge and experience allow them to develop innovative products for the demanding and ever-changing market of digital textile printing.
Their modern technologies allow us to improve any aspect of textile printing, starting from performance up to the most important environmental issues.
The versatility of these digital technologies also opens the way to different printed applications such as paper and plastic substrates.
Developing sustainable technologies is our responsibility towards future generations.
Thus, we have adhered to the “Sustainable Technologies” project sponsored by ACIMIT; its aim is to promote printing equipment which make smart use of: energy, chemicals and water resources.
Project members undertake to: sign the project regulation; undergo the screening tests led by an authority for achieving the Green Label; apply “Supplier of Sustainable Technologies” logo to all the machines which have been awarded a Green Label.
Mindsets are changing and the fashion industry is (finally) moving in the right direction.
Fashion must adopt alternative business models and make smarter production decisions to rein in its impact on people and the planet.
MS explains one of the 6 good reasons for choosing digital textile printing technology as consuming 60% less water and 30% less energy compared to the standard rotary textile process.
The process carbon footprint is approximately 40% less, and since colour management is through software, only the ink quantity necessary to achieve colours and designs is used, resulting in 20% less inks wastage in this technology.
There is almost zero wastage on the fabric during the design/colourways change, thus granting a lean workflow as well as expanding the creativity of designers at low costs.
In addition, digital printing allows the potential production of infinity colourways and designs.
The company underlines that the shift from traditional printing to digital printing requires a training process for those working in the textile printing industry, and aims to support its customers in this change with the different training levels it has set at MS Academy.
MS emphasizes that consumers are more mindful of sustainable and responsible purchases than ever for the entire production chain and says; “We desire to return 10L of water to every human being. This is possible by replacing the traditional cylinder machines with 300 Lario Single-pass. Together we will work to achieve even greater success.”
