A Green Revolution In the Printing Industry, Supporting Carbon Neutrality Goals

2025,08,12

With the global emphasis on sustainable development, sublimation printing technology has become a focus of the industry due to its high efficiency and low pollution characteristics. Recently, a domestic enterprise successfully developed fully biodegradable Sublimation Paper, breaking through the environmental bottleneck of traditional processes and providing greener solutions for fields such as textile printing and advertising design.

✅ Core Content

1. Technological breakthrough

-Using natural plant fibers (such as bamboo pulp and sugarcane bagasse) instead of wood pulp to reduce forest resource consumption

-Water based coating technology achieves solvent-free production, reducing VOC emissions by 90%

-Certified by the EU Ecolabel, it can degrade in the natural environment within 6 months

2. Market Applications

-Textile industry: Used for printing sportswear and home textiles, with a 30% increase in washability

-Personalized customization : The demand for digital transfer printing of eco-friendly cups, phone cases, and other items has surged

-Industrial sector: Replace traditional printing materials and reduce the generation of hazardous waste

✅ Environmental advantages

1. Solvent free ink

-Thermal sublimation uses water-based dispersed dye ink, which does not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and is more environmentally friendly than solvent based ink.

2. Low waste rate

-After transfer printing, the pattern completely sublimates to the target object, and the paper itself has no residual ink, reducing pollution.

Data Support

-The global market size of sublimation paper is expected to reach $1.25 billion by 2028 (CAGR 7.2%)

-The share of environmentally friendly products will increase from 15% in 2020 to 38% in 2023 (data source: Smithers Pira)

*Tips

How to distinguish true environmental protection?

1. Check if there is FSC forest certification

2. Check whether the coating contains PE/PET plastic components

3. The residue after incineration should be less than 5%
