At Georgiadis S.A., environmental and social responsibility are integral parts of our strategy.
Through our “Green Page” program and “Green Production” processes, we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint while ensuring the well-being of our employees and the local communities that support us.
Environmental Policy
Recycling and Waste Reduction
We recycle 90% of our industrial waste, including metal packaging, plastic, recycled paper, and nylon, thereby contributing to the reduction of natural resource usage.
Water and Alcohol Consumption Reduction
We have reduced water consumption by 35% and alcohol usage to 3% by employing advanced technologies that minimize our environmental footprint.
Use of Eco-Friendly Materials
We prioritize recycled materials and papers, reducing dependency on virgin pulp. We use environmentally friendly inks, including Low Odour and Low Migration, as well as natural starch-based adhesives.
Innovation and Technology
BM Trada Certification
Maintaining the certified BM TRADA supply chain system ensures that our products are sourced and produced in compliance with globally recognized ecological, social, and economic standards.
KODAK SONORA XP Free Plates
Our collaboration with Kodak incorporates the KODAK SONORA XP Free Plates system into our printing techniques, aimed at reducing pollutants while conserving energy.
This system eliminates the need for processing and chemicals in plate-making, providing superior printing quality while adhering to key regulations, such as:
-
-
- EU Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004
- SWISS ORDINANCE ON MATERIALS AND ARTICLES IN CONTACT WITH FOOD (SR817.023.21)
- DUTCH COMMODITIES ACT ON FOOD CONTACT MATERIALS (KENMERK 328583-117560-VGP)
-
The SONORA XP Free Plates system offers significant benefits for our operations:
-
-
- Reduction of processing costs (maintenance and operation).
- Optimization of process control by eliminating all variables.
- Fast and immediate responsiveness to commercial metal printing needs.
- High-performance printing on both hot and cold rolling presses, offset, and short-run UV applications.
-
With SONORA XP Free Plates, fast imaging speeds combined with the extra time and consistency in processed plate production increase productivity and performance while minimizing downtime risks.
Bioclimatic Design
Our production facilities are designed according to bioclimatic principles, reducing energy losses and utilizing thermal energy from our equipment to heat production areas.
We offer solutions for replacing plastic with tested alternative materials wherever feasible.
