Eco-Friendly Printing Solutions
Techlite utilizes advanced printing technology on Basotect® EcoBalanced melamine foam, ensuring high-quality results with a strong commitment to environmental responsibility. The use of GREENGUARD Gold certified ink minimizes the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to healthier indoor air quality and meeting rigorous standards for low emissions. This energy-efficient technology also consumes less power, helping reduce the overall carbon footprint. Designed for durability and modularity, it extends equipment lifespan, reducing waste and the need for frequent replacements. By combining sustainable printing practices with the renewable benefits of Basotect® EcoBalanced foam, Techlite delivers top-quality, eco-friendly solutions that align with green building standards.
CERTIFICATIONS
UVgel Ink (digitally printed acoustic panels)
GREENGUARD Gold Certification indicates that a product has been rigorously tested and meets stringent standards for chemical emissions, making it low-emitting and supportive of cleaner indoor air quality.
- Emissions: GREENGUARD Gold Certified products have been scientifically proven to emit very low levels of over 10,000 chemicals and 360 VOCs.
- Formaldehyde: Certified products have formaldehyde emissions below 7.6 parts per billion (ppb), significantly lower than the standard GREENGUARD Certification threshold of 50 ppb.
- Intended Use: This certification is ideal for products used in sensitive environments such as schools, healthcare facilities, and nurseries, where vulnerable groups like children and the elderly are present.
- Health: GREENGUARD Gold Certified products help reduce indoor air pollution and lower the risk of exposure to chemicals that can adversely affect health.
Basotect® EcoBalanced (melamine foam)
REDcert2 is a voluntary certification system that verifies the sustainable use of biomass. It enables the replacement of fossil-based resources with sustainable biomass, supports sustainability claims, increases the market value of raw materials and products, conserves fossil resources, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
ISCC Certified Plus is an extension of the ISCC EU standard, ISCC PLUS provides a voluntary pathway to certification for a wide range of resources in the bio- and circular economy. These include biomass, waste, residues, non-biological renewable energy sources and recyclable carbon materials.
