Track: Sustainability

We’re witnessing the birth of REPAPER, the GUILD’s innovative platform for the purchase and sale of materials in the graphic sector that promotes the circular economy. Our aim is to facilitate the use of stocks of materials by companies in the sector, thus contributing to increased sustainability. - Avoidance of stock accumulation: it helps to manage idle material that may become obsolete and improve warehouse spaces. - Economic recovery: it allows the economic recovery of investment in raw materials. - Sustainability: it contributes to the protection of the environment by making the most of the available resources. - The GUILD acts by providing the platform, but it ISN’T actively involved in the transactions.

Measures to promote sustainability and the circular economy by means of eco-design will be combined with digitisation and industry 4.0 to secure more efficient production.

Synergies between suppliers, manufacturers and designers to implement eco-design:

- Keys to green printing, digitisation, energy efficiency and the implementation of measures to drive the circular economy.

- Optimising design with production, transport, recycling and reuse in mind.

- Digital printing, personalisation and reduced print runs/waste.  

Sustainable printing solutions to reduce the carbon footprint:

- Machinery, materials, vegetable-based inks and digital tools that help to reduce CO2 emissions.

- Solutions geared towards commercial printing

- Solutions geared towards packaging

Panel discussion in the fair’s Impulso-Diálogos area on digital printing applications in the manufacturing industry that will feature the participation of representatives of the Design Institute of Spain (D!OS), graphic technology suppliers, industrial designers and companies from different sectors of activity that use printing in their production processes.  

The personalisation of spaces is one of the macro-trends in interior design to be found around the world. Digital printing has become an invaluable tool enabling design professionals to undertake unique and exclusive projects. At this table we’ll bring together interior designers with experience in the use of these solutions who’ll tell us  about the new demands for customisation in their designs, the most innovative industrialists in the development of digital printing technologies for the decoration sector and companies at the forefront of these solutions in their products. Chaired by: Pilar Marcos, director of the Diseño Interior magazine.
