Grafityp: pioneer in sustainable films

The sustainability challenges are innumerable. Both for consumers and society as a whole. Consumers are increasingly critical and society is evolving from a disposable to a recycling society.

At Grafityp, we are capitalising on this with our own PVC-free products (GEF). We are constantly expanding our range. We focus on the ecological advantages of the products as well as the advantages in production. For example, the PVC-free films are made of 100% recyclable material and no harmful substances are released during combustion during the production process.

Advantages of PVC-free products

•  Solvent-free adhesive.
•  Free of PVC, phthalates, chlorine and plasticisers.

•  100% pure recyclable.
•  Fire certificate B1.
• Sustainable production.

LCA study

We back up the benefits of our PVC-free films with figures from the recent LCA study (2023). LCA stands for Life Cycle Assessment. It is a systematic analysis of the potential environmental impacts of products or services throughout their life cycle.

The study was carried out by the independent organisation Enperas. That is a spinoff of the Belgian research centres VITO and EnergyVille. Both leading players in environmental technology and research.

The results are encouraging!

Ecological footprint: Measures how fast we consume resources and generate waste compared to how fast nature can absorb our waste and generate resources. | Global Warming Potential: It is the measure of the amount of energy absorbed by the emission of a ton of gas over a given period, relative to the emission of a ton of carbon dioxide (CO₂). | *LCA study internally submitted by Grafityp 2022, Cradle-to-Gate according EN 15804+A2 norm excluded modules C3, A4, A5, B and D. | **LCA study internally submitted by Grafityp 2022, Cradle-to-Gate according EN 15804+A2 norm only modules A1 and A3. | We are not
