Calls for EU support on eco printing
Conservative MEP, Marina Yannakoudakis, called for EU support to help fund economically viable and more environmentally friendly alternatives to inkjet printing following a visit to MBA Group Printers in London, where she learned that inkjet printed media cannot be properly recycled.
Speaking to the President of the European Parliament in Strasbourg, Mrs Yannakoudakis said: “We all know the importance of recycling and would expect paper to be recycled once used. After visiting printing company, MBA, I discovered that the complicated process used to recycle inkjet paper makes it expensive, while the use of additional bleach means it is not environmentally friendly.
“Companies, such as MBA who use other forms of printing which are environmentally friendly need to be encouraged and incentives offered to make the process economically more even handed.”
