FUJIFILM has announced that its Broadstairs ink manufacturing site has received ‘Zero to Landfill’ certification from Valpak, a leading provider of environmental compliance and recycling solutions. The company’s award-winning factory manufactures high performance inks for diverse markets which include Uvijet wide-format UV inkjet inks and Sericol screen inks. The company has steadily implemented new systems, technologies and processes at the site to monitor and measure its progress, as it takes steps to further reduce its environmental impact.
Valpak certification is a significant milestone that confirms the site is sending zero packaging, production or hazardous waste to landfill. It also highlights the company’s commitment to continuously improving its waste management through reducing, recycling and reusing resources. The certification process involved a comprehensive audit, carried out by Valpak, of FUJIFILM’s waste management practices on site, including its waste and recycling initiatives. During the audit, FUJIFILM demonstrated how it is measuring and monitoring a wide range of key performance indicators.
