A GREENER FUTURE
We want Mobad to lead the industry on sustainability – working with like-minded clients and pioneering environmentally conscious printing solutions. Our commitment to sustainability isn’t just a tick in a procurement checklist; it’s a driving force that shapes every aspect of our operation. Join us on the journey towards a greener future with our environmentally-friendly printing practices.
Solvent-free large-format printing
Our decision to embrace solvent-free printing with water-based latex / resin inks is a testament to our dedication to environmental responsibility. This approach significantly reduces the environmental footprint by eliminating hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), ensuring a cleaner and safer printing process. All of our large-format print work is produced using this solvent-free method, meaning fewer harmful emissions and a safer, cleaner output.
We also operate a compact Roland BN-20 printer for specific specialist applications where latex inks aren’t suitable. This allows us to handle certain heavy-duty or niche materials, while keeping our core production firmly solvent-free.
And, when your outdoor graphics reach the end of their life, rest assured there is minimal chemical waste to be recycled.
Waste reduction from production to packaging
We want Mobad to lead the industry on sustainability – working with like-minded clients and pioneering environmentally conscious printing solutions. Our commitment to sustainability isn’t just a tick in a procurement checklist; it’s a driving force that shapes every aspect of our operation.
We’ve rethought our packaging so it protects your order and the environment. For smaller parcels, that means reused cardboard, paper tape, and paper address wallets - all fully recyclable together with no hidden plastics. Larger, more awkward shipments still need extra protection, so for now we use cling and polystyrene where absolutely necessary, but we’ll continue to look for better alternatives as they become available.
Join us on the journey towards a greener future with our environmentally-friendly printing practices.
We’ve shared more about how and why we’ve made these changes on our blog — including the story behind a 38,000-sticker order sent to 144 locations in fully recyclable packaging. Read the full blog post
Responsible supplier collaborations
Choosing Mobad means choosing responsible partnerships. We have carefully selected suppliers like 3M, leaders in sustainable practices and product development. As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we pro-actively lobby all suppliers to advocate for 100% recyclable waste in our production process.
Efficient transport for reduced emissions
Mobad takes a pro-active approach to minimise our carbon footprint. Our delivery vehicle is Euro-6 emissions compliant, and we prioritise eco-friendly shipping options for local deliveries.
By opting for overnight couriers, we contribute to a more sustainable approach to transportation.
Product use & end-of-life guidelines
We don’t just deliver products; we provide our clients with comprehensive guidelines on how to use, recycle and dispose of items when they reach the end of their lifecycle. Our focus on creating durable graphics ensures that our products last longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
