The textile market is very resource consumptive and has a very high impact on the environment. Now it is time to think about future generations and become more conscious about the importance of respecting nature and reducing the impact we have on earth.
From traditional textile or conventional printing, now is the time to evolve to a more ethical and sustainable way to produce at an industrial level through digital printing.
This aspect is even more important in some countries like Europe, North Africa, India, South America where there are limited natural resources like water, which can be put to other uses.
Digital printing is the solution and the answer to this problem, reducing the impact of textiles on the environment through water consumption reduction, Co2 emission, reduction and less energy demand. Digital printing is the future for textiles combined with a more conscious perception of production.
There are many companies now more conscious about this problem. “Sensient is very concerned and involved in sustainability,” says Edri Baggi of Sensient Imaging Technologies SA, Switzerland. “Our focus in R&D is to develop processes to reduce the environmental impact through high quality and performance inks.”
As a digital ink manufacturing company every day Sensient is asked for more and more certifications of product and process sustainability. Global brands in fashion and sportswear have become very sensitive about this aspect and they push their suppliers to develop sustainable solutions to fulfil their target without compromising on quality.
