What the 9 reasons why laser engraving is good for the environment?

Laser marking is a green technology

    Manufacturers are always looking for ways to reduce costs. But, in today's green world, they also want to help the environment. Implementing laser marking technology can help reduce day-to-day operating costs, but it can also reduce the amount of material going into landfill and reduce the use of environmentally harmful manufacturing materials. Laser engraving can be a big win for your bottom line and a win for the planet.

    Here are more reasons to add laser marking to your manufacturing operations.

Ink Label Problems

    Printing often uses inks made from petroleum solvents - products marked with these inks are not always recyclable. Labels with lots of paper and glue are expensive to produce and use, adding to consumer waste. Another cost factor is the additional step of adding the label to the product. The application of tags can be a very expensive add-on, and additional processes require more equipment and therefore more power consumption.

9 reasons why laser marking is good for the environment:

    1. Laser marking machines have minimal moving parts. Maintenance tasks and their associated costs are virtually non-existent.

    2. Laser marking machines use a small amount of energy, usually costing a few cents per hour to operate.

    3. Laser Marker Eliminates Consumables - No need for ink, filters, pins, belts or other replaceable parts.

    4. The laser marking machine is clean. The ink marking station is very dirty and difficult to clean.

    5. Laser marking machine gives you choice. You can change your marking, material or product through quick software settings.

    6. The laser marking machine directly marks the part. No need to add paper labels or plates to parts.

    7. Laser marking is permanent and safe. Consumers can easily remove ink and labels.

    8. Laser marking machines save energy. They only consume power when marking.

    9. Laser marking machines are fast and efficient. Increase throughput while eliminating redundant processes.

What is more natural than light?

    Lasers can be seen as a natural use of pure light. The light from the laser does not harm the environment and is a great way for any company to reduce its environmental footprint. As a nice addition, lasers can also save on manufacturing costs, lower cost of ownership, and help operators achieve a quick return on investment.
