Top Five Reasons to Use Agfa Graphics’ New Duratex EcoDisplay Board Media

Everybody knows that it’s hip and cool (and the right thing to do) to care for the environment. We recycle cans and newspapers and plastic bottles – it’s become a reflex for most people. Print Service Providers (PSPs) have even brought many eco-friendly processes into their production workflows, making better products for their customers who want to provide “green” products and services to their clients.

Wait. You don’t often make your eco-friendliness a selling point? Well, it is our humble belief that you should. To help you along, here are the top five reasons why you should use the new Duratex EcoDisplay Board media from Agfa Graphics while positioning you and your customers as environmentally responsible.

One: Duratex EcoDisplay Board is made from wood, water, and starch, 30 percent of which comes from post-industrial waste.

Two: Duratex EcoDisplay Board is 1/3 lighter than comparable media such as styrene, making shipping easier and resulting is less fossil fuel burned.

Three: It’s not made with any harsh chemicals, so Duratex EcoDisplay Board is safer and better for the environment.
