Canon Europe has launched its first carbon neutral technical wide-format papers
Canon Europe, manufacturer of print solutions, has launched the first cradle-to-customer carbon neutral technical wide-format papers.
Designed for the architectural, engineering, construction, and manufacturing (AECM) industry, the Red Label Zero and Recycled White Zero papers are FSC certified and 100% carbon neutral.
The papers are also both EU Ecolabel certified meaning they have guaranteed, independently-verified low environmental impact throughout their lifecycle.
Red Label Zero FSC is a lightweight paper and is available in 30 varieties including ISO (DIN) and ANSI sizes. Available in a range of widths from 210mm to 1067mm, and in 175mm or 200mm roll lengths, the paper weighs 75gsm.
The White Zero FSC is slightly heavier and comes in a range of widths from 297mm to 914mm in 150m rolls and is made from 100% recycled paper.
Both options are compatible with Canon ColorWave, PlotWave, and imagePROGRAF series printers, as well as other brands.
“We’re taking sustainability seriously across all our product portfolios at Canon to reduce our carbon footprint and also to help our customers lessen their impact on the environment which is why we’re excited to launch the first cradle-to-customer, carbon-neutral, technical wide-format papers for the AECM market,” says Maurice Pardoel, director of product line management and operations at Canon Europe – Imaging Supplies.
To reduce the number of transport movements to further lower its carbon output, Canon is offsetting any carbon emissions that remain in the process against recognised compensation programmes through ClimatePartner.
