Special projects in progress: R&D/SRED

The importance and role of R&D/RSDE in our sustainability progress.

Research and Development (R&D) and Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SRED) within a flexographic and digital printing plant plays a crucial role in innovation and continuous improvement.

Here are some key areas where R&D and SRED can bring significant benefits:

1. New product development: R&D/SRED enables us to improve innovative inks, print media and printing technologies that meet changing market needs. This includes the creation of new, more durable, higher-performance and environmentally friendly products.
2. Process improvement: By optimizing production processes, R&D/SRED can reduce cycle times, minimize waste and improve print quality. This translates into more efficient production and lower costs.
3. Production efficiency: R&D/SRED can identify ways to automate certain stages of production, improve equipment maintenance and reduce downtime. This increases productivity and enables faster response to customer requests.
4. Energy efficiency: By developing more energy-efficient technologies and production practices, R&D/SRED contributes to reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This includes the use of energy-efficient machinery and the integration of renewable energy sources.
5. Sustainable innovation: R&D/SRED can focus on creating products and processes that minimize environmental impact, such as the use of recycled materials, the use of bio-based materials, the reduction of harmful chemical substances and the improvement of recyclability/accountability of finished products.

By investing in R&D/SRED, a flexographic and digital printing plant can not only remain competitive, but also contribute to a more sustainable, innovative and responsible future.
