for its LCA project
Spain: Comexi, a flexible packaging equipment specialist, has received a 2019 FTA Sustainability Excellence Award in the Innovations in Sustainability category for its Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of its Comexi F2 MC flexographic press.
Organized by FTA (Flexographic Technical Association), the 2019 FTA Excellence in Flexography Awards were presented on May 5th at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside (USA), where 39 gold prizes, 41 silver prizes, 40 bronze prizes and six Best of Show Awards were given.
The objective of this Comexi project is to continually acquire knowledge and communicate the environmental impact of the manufacture value chain of flexographic printing presses. Through the implementation of eco-designed products, a circular economy strategy has been established, providing to customers with products that are environmentally respectful throughout their life cycle.
The LCA examines the environmental, social and economic impacts of the machine in order to make across-the-board improvements. “The target of this analysis is to identify our environmental impact of the whole life cycle of the Comexi F2 MC flexo machine”, says Olof Buelens, vice president of Comexi North America.
