Better products and better practices for a more sustainable industry,
improved ROI and a better world. Green really works.

Agfa is committed to reducing the industry’s environmental impact, systematically improving the cost, quality and environmental performance of our products and operations. Our solutions are designed to maximize renewable resources, eliminate toxic chemicals, reduce waste, lower ink and water consumption and save energy.

As part of our corporate strategy, we support customers who demonstrate environmental responsibility. GreenWorks^SM, an Agfa initiative, accredits customers in the graphic communications industry in North America, who achieve greener outcomes through technology, products, services and practices.

Agfa critically examines environmental and safety issues through each stage of a product’s life cycle to provide best manufacturing practices and solutions that meet our customers’ business needs as well as reduce waste and resource consumption. Some of these include:

• Plate systems that reduce waste, chemistry and energy use
• Chemistry with reduced Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) or gases emitted from some solids or liquids that contribute to ground-level air pollution
• Workflows that reduce waste (paper, ink, etc.) throughout the production chain
• Inkjet solutions that minimize the amount of ink, paper and energy
