Heidelberg

Sustainability is a key concept for Heidelberg. Planning, design and manufacturing processes are set up to minimize the environmental footprint. From 2004 to 2008 the energy used per metric-ton output was reduced by 40 percent. The overall recycling rate was 94 percent in 2008. Heidelberg products can reduce the environmental footprint of a print shop (e.g. reducing waste, energy consumption and other emissions across the whole offset production chain). Heidelberg works closely with industry associations to ensure sustainable processes and supports initiatives such as the Sustainable Green Printing Partnership.
