January 20, 2025

Sustainable Printing

At REBIL, we’re not just about providing top-quality labeling, packaging and printing solutions; we’re also committed to environmental sustainability. We understand that businesses today are increasingly looking for ways to minimize their ecological footprint, and we’re here to help you achieve that with our eco-friendly printing options. For sure, the use of renewable resources is a contribution to environmental sustainability. This not only gives us peace of mind but also helps us to work with like-minded partners. This way we also drive other organizations in the whole supply chain to adapt their own practices as well.

Sustainable Materials

  • FSC-Certified Paper: We source our paper from responsibly managed forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), ensuring that your products contribute to the preservation of our planet’s precious resources.
  • Recycled Paper: We offer a wide range of recycled paper options, such as the 100% recycled Keaykolour series, allowing you to make a conscious choice for the environment.
  • Alternative Materials: For those seeking unique and sustainable options, we provide papers made from alternative fibers like bamboo and cotton, showcased in the Connoisseur collection by Arjowiggins.

Eco-Friendly Inks

  • Vegetable-Based Inks: We utilize vegetable-based inks made from renewable resources like soy, canola, and coconut, minimizing our reliance on petroleum-based products. These inks, offered by our partners Huber and Sun Chemical (e.g., SunLit Diamond and Huber Resista series), provide vibrant colors while being kinder to the planet.
  • Food-Safe Inks: For food packaging, we offer specialized inks like the MGA CORONA series by Huber, which meet stringent safety standards and prevent ink diffusion into the food.
  • Compliance and Safety: Our inks comply with various regulations, including EN 71/3 (suitability for toy packaging), CONEG (heavy metal regulation) as well as ISO 2846-1 and allow printing in accordance to ISO 12647-2.

Saving Energy

We are also ISO 50001:2011 certified which is an energy management standard to manage energy – including all aspects of energy procurement and use. This helps us to establish a structure and discipline to implement technical and managerial strategies that significantly cut energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Besides, our whole environmental management system is certified by ISO 14001:2015. This is a systematic framework to manage the immediate and long-term environmental impacts of our products, services and processes. We can assure that our environmental management system meets international industryspecific environmental standards.

Higg Index

Furthermore, we are using the Higg Index to identify important areas of activities in our supply chain because of our beliefs in environmental, social and labor aspects. This way we can achieve a great transparency about our environmental impact and benchmark our own sustainability
performance when compared to the other stakeholders in the whole global supply chain. Hence, the whole industry will be able to report more specifically on water, energy and raw material consumption, waste and wastewater in the future. This will accelerate more innovations for green products as well. Let’s save our resources and make the world a better place for our children!
