Antalis, Europe's largest distributor of visual communication media, is extending the Green Star System rating to its visual communication solutions.
The Group's Green Star System, based in France, is a system for rating the environmental performance of substrates out of five that is already applied to its papers. 80% of the paper range is rated at least 3 stars. The Green Star System takes into account the type of raw material used and the recyclability of each product at the end of its life.
"With the Green Star System for visual communication, it is now possible to make the right choice among the different types of plastic-based materials and to find your way among the many eco-responsible labels." says Stéphane Courtot, Chairman Antalis France and Managing Director Antalis Western Europe and Asia.
Antalis aims for 75% of its visual communication solutions sold by 2030 to be rated 3 stars or higher.
In parallel with this rating, Antalis is launching the Dispa range of 3A Composites. The products in the Dispa range are cardboard boxes that can replace the PVC foam panels commonly used for indoor and outdoor signage and advertising. The Dispa range, which is recyclable, is rated 4 stars in the Green Star System.
