UltraGreen medias are composed of any Ultraflex material that is deemed to be environmentally friendly. Whether recyclable, biodegradable, or cleanly manufactured, these medias can be added to any portfolio where preserving the environment is desired.

We are currently and continuously putting forth efforts to minimize our and our client’s carbon-footprint. The products outlined below are examples of some of the integral steps we have taken to do this. As further innovations and strategic developments arise, we will continue to keep you abreast of our advancements towards sustainability in the digital printing industry.

PVC has a remarkable balance of properties; it is strong, resistant to oil, chemicals, sunlight and weathering. PVC is also flame resistant, easily decorated and low in cost. PVC can be and is being recycled all over the world and for your convenience, we have the proper resources at our disposal that can accommodate to this PVC recycling effort; we can provide you with facilities in your area which recycle our products regularly. PVC or vinyl recycling has historically been difficult to perfect on the industrial scale. But within the last decade, several viable methods for recycling or upcycling PVC have been developed.

We are also the first and only provider of biodegradable PVC for years. Before BIOflex®, PVC had been immortal in the landfill; no degradation was found after decades of landfill burial. BIOflex has been engineered to be the first truly environmentally friendly, biodegradable PVC. We have developed a nontoxic formula that, at very low levels, enables landfill decomposition of BIOflex PVC. In the landfill, the carbon and hydrogen content of BIOflex are partly consumed by the biomass organisms and partly released as methane from fermentation. In a well managed landfill, methane is harvested for use as fuel. The chlorine content of BIOflex is partly consumed and partly converted to soluble chloride; this has value as fertilizer since it makes soil nitrogen more rapidly available to plants. In experiments using landfill into which BIOflex had decomposed as compost in potting soil, plants and vegetables sprouted more rapidly than in controls. Today, patented BIOflex has earned its reputation as both an eco-friendly option for sign media, but also as a true-performer when in application.

Two textiles in particular couldn’t be more “green”; UltraTex™ Organic and UltraCotton™. Since these textiles are both made of 100% natural and organic materials such as Ingeo®, plant fibers and cotton, they are innately biodegradable/compostable and recyclable.
