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.
Recognizing customers for environmentally-safer practices
As part of our corporate strategy, we support customers who demonstrate environmental responsibility. GreenWorksSM, an Agfa initiative, accredits customers in the graphic communications industry in North America, who achieve greener outcomes through technology, products, services and practices.
Many benefits of GreenWorks accreditation
All GreenWorks-accredited customers are featured on Agfa’s website and promoted to buyers/designers interested in environmental responsibility.
GreenWorks-accredited customers are recognized with a plaque and become a prestigious member of the GreenWorks community.
Every GreenWorks customer receives a marketing toolkit to help promote their environmental stewardship. It includes the GreenWorks logo, GreenWorks Certified digital badge and suggested ways to promote their business. In addition, accredited GreenWorks companies receive content for their website & RFPs, a press release template, digital ad templates, infographics that can be used in email and social media communications, search engine optimization keyword support and professional guidance to help market their environmentally-safer practices.
GreenWorks accredited companies may also be featured in Agfa public relations, testimonial campaigns, and on the Agfa website, providing further exposure if desired. Buyers today are increasingly committed to environmental safety. All things being equal, the environment can play a strong role in tipping the scales in your favor.

A track record in developing environmental solutions
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
