Cutting costs or improving sustainability in coding and marking – is it a choice?

Amid a cost of living and climate crisis, manufacturers are battling to try and cut costs, whilst improving sustainability. Rotech can evaluate your coding and marking processes to help you achieve the best of both worlds.

Often overlooked but hugely important; your production line coding could be a key component to becoming more cost and eco-efficient. Replacing out-dated technology and processes will allow you to reduce your carbon footprint, whilst also removing extra expenses.

At Rotech, we are advocates for newer and greener thermal inkjet printers. The maintenance-free systems, only require recyclable cartridge-based inks that do not contain harmful MEK fluids. Unlike aging CIJ printers, TIJ does not need regular on-site servicing, reducing the overall lifetime value and environmental impact of travel, extra resources, and spare parts.

Where labels are concerned, the environmental impact is obvious. Not only do they promote waste and limit recyclability, they are costly and currently experiencing supply chain disruption. So, are they always necessary? Large area printing offers a greener alternative to labelling, – by removing this extra step in production you are both cutting costs and improving sustainability.

Rotech’s team of experts offer support, advice and solutions to all industries wanting to improve the environmental impact of their manufacturing. This will come hand in hand with dramatically cutting costs and maximising efficiency. Now something that seemed impossible, isn’t so difficult to achieve after all!
