The PrintCity Alliance recently completed a successful first Graphic Industry Supply Chain Workshop on the subject Carbon Footprint & Energy Efficiency in Munich. More than 30 attendees from several countries participated and presentations were made by PrintCity members UPM, Sun Chemical, manroland plus other guest speakers.
The target of this first workshop was to exchange information about ‘best practice’ across the whole supply chain and to connect the competence (knowledge) of members and international businesses on this important environmental topic.
The workshop’s conclusions were summarised as: ‘There was a clear consensus that we needed a single, international and integrated approach to Carbon Footprinting across the complete graphic industry value chain. The current sector or national approaches are confusing, costly and complex – in the future we need to be clear, concise and credible. Initiatives by Intergraf and ISO are first steps in this direction, which PrintCity Alliance members fully support.’
PrintCity project manager and workshop initiator Nigel Wells comments: “The workshops form part of our ongoing work to share knowledge on complex subjects, through our members ‘connection of competence’ process capability and expertise. This workshop has been very informative for attendees & presenters alike and has contributed to our special report Carbon Footprint & Energy Efficiency that will be released later this year.”
