Introducing 100% recycled and recyclable sublimation paper

The latest development in our 2030 Green Initiative Goals is the launch of a 100% Recycled and Recyclable sublimation paper series, now available to all Optimum Digital customers. This new sublimation paper is the first of its kind, certified by FSC (Forest Stewarship Council). This has enabled our customers to achieve the same printing quality in digital textile printing with reduced environmental impact.

What is a FSC Certificate?

The FSC is a non-profit that carries out independent and accredited certifications around the world for companies that produce, process, distribute, or transform forest resources. A certificate that is accredited by FSC reflects a chain of custody management system that comes from legal and well-managed souces, that are sustainable for future generations.

How does using this paper help the environment?

Using 100% recycled paper instead of primary fibers, our customers are able to save the following for every ton of waste paper recycled:

1. 1. 1. • 17 trees , eliminating 70m2 of deforestation
      2. • Water use is reduced by 53%, saving roughly 32,000 liters
      3. • Power consumption is reduced by 28 – 70%, an average of 4100 kwh
      4. • 1750 liters of fuel is saved, with up to half the carbon dioxide emissions
      5. • 27kg of waste gas pollutants is eliminated and 39% reduction in solid waste

    

How has this helped Optimum customers?

As the industry accelerates its pressure towards sustainable textile production this recycled and recyclable solution grants access to the growing demand for sustainably printed solutions. An edge over traditional competitors who are no longer able to meet the ever increasing requirements for green printing.
