Water and energy are precious commodities. Implementing clean green printing will reduce consumption of water and energy throughout the printing operation. The industry can adopt measures to reduce the amount of water and energy used by:

• reducing usage of infrared drying units on presses
• installing peak power meters to measure power usage leading to the reduction of CO₂ emissions
• supporting green power from government-accredited suppliers
• increasing natural lighting and implementing an energy efficient lighting plan e.g. install both motion and light sensitive sensors in office and factory
• recycling grey water plus the treatment of contaminant water
• driving eco company cars with hybrid technology to reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions
• monitor and control water flow and leakage
• install energy and water saving equipment that recycles and filters e.g. install the new revolutionary ncon lighting box that can reduce energy output by up to 20%
• install rainwater tanks
