Tradeprint Take Aim At Problematic Plastics

The printing industry has long been a frontrunner in sustainability, championing efforts such as sustainable forestry, FSC©-certified paper stocks, and the use of recycled materials. However, one significant challenge persists: the environmental impact of PVC banners. Recognising this, Tradeprint has taken decisive action to reduce PVC usage by introducing a PVC-free banner solution.

Why PVC-Free Matters

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) has long been a staple material in banner production due to its durability and print quality. However, it poses significant environmental concerns, particularly when it comes to disposal. PVC banners often end up in landfills, contributing to the global plastic waste problem. Tradeprint’s new PVC-free substrate offers a sustainable alternative that aligns with the industry's push for eco-friendly practices.

Introducing the PVC-Free Banner Solution

The PVC-free 400gsm substrate is a heavyweight woven alternative designed to deliver the same exceptional print quality as traditional PVC without the environmental drawbacks. Here’s what makes it stand out:

• 100% Recyclable: The material is fully recyclable, ensuring a closed-loop lifecycle.

• Durability: With a lifespan of up to five years, it’s built to withstand the elements.

• Resistance: It’s UV, ageing, and water-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor and indoor applications.

• Innovative Construction: Featuring a unique four-layer design, it’s a tough, reliable option for printed graphics.

• High Performance: Excellent tear and tensile strength rival even higher-weight PVC banners.

• Versatility: Perfect for a range of applications, from outdoor advertising to trade show displays.

Leading the Industry Toward Sustainability

“We are really excited about introducing a range of PVC-free products alongside our existing portfolio. We hope that, over time, customer demand for sustainable options will grow. These products demonstrate that you don’t need to compromise on quality to make environmentally responsible choices,” says Anthony Rowell, Sales & Customer Success Director, Sustainability Lead at Tradeprint.

Why Choose PVC-Free Banners?

Switching to PVC-free banners isn’t just a smart choice for the planet—it’s also a savvy business decision. Consumers increasingly prefer companies that prioritise sustainability, and opting for eco-friendly materials can enhance your brand’s reputation while reducing your environmental footprint. With Tradeprint’s PVC-free banners, you’re investing in a product that performs just as well as traditional options but without the environmental cost.
