Eco friendly printing and media
Going Green Makes Good Business Sense
Think about going ‘green’ with your large-format graphics. Not just because it’s the responsible thing to do, but because it’s smart for your business. The print quality is impeccable, the materials are durable, & they help reduce the burden on our limited resources. And when your customers know that you’re helping to sustain the planet, your image becomes even brighter in their minds.
As part of our commitment to serve our clients’ long-term business needs, Lone Eagle offers a wide range of media, laminates, and mounting boards that are recyclable, have been made from recycled materials, and/or are manufactured in an ecologically responsible way. We print these materials using water-based inks to produce high-quality prints with minimal environmental impact.
Examples of print media include:
- Polyethylene (PE) banners made from recycled milk jugs.
- Polypropylene (PP) banners made from recycled containers.
- Tyvek high-density polyethylene (HDPE) banners that are rip-resistant & 100% recyclable.
- Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified coated matte paper – paper made in an environmentally-responsible way.
- 100% PCW (post-consumer waste) coated matte paper.
- Latex-infused paper for wall murals (instead of vinyl-based media).
Examples of mounting options include:
- Eco-Board—a sturdy, lightweight 3/8″ mounting board made from 94% recycled cardboard.
- 100% recyclable and biodegradable 3/16″ polystyrene (PS) DuraPlast mounting board.
- 100% recyclable and biodegradable 0.020″ polystyrene (PS) EcoPlast mounting board.
Examples of laminating options include:
- 3mil, cast polypropylene (PP) Filmolux glossy laminate.
- 3mil, cast polypropylene (PP) Filmolux satin/matte laminate.
Who would have thought that old milk containers could hold the key to a great-looking, sustainable graphics solution? It’s just one of the ways Lone Eagle flies above the crowd.
Lone Eagle also participates in ink cartridge recycling programs. Our empty ink cartridges are returned to the manufacturers for proper disposal. Any residual ink left in the cartridge is incinerated so that it doesn’t reach the water supply. The cartridges themselves are disassembled and the various components are sent to the proper recycling streams (PE, PP, HDPE, etc.).
