Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with <\/em>Plastic Doctor Blades?<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Generally, printers choose plastic or steel doctor blades according to their graphic requirements (or maybe blade life or safety). \u00a0But, all else being equal, choosing the eco-friendlier material can help printers reduce their carbon footprint<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although plastic typically gets a bad rap when it comes to the environment, a European study in 2010 found that there was a net positive impact when products were made of plastic vs. other materials in terms of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions<\/em><\/strong> over their total life cycle!<\/p>\n

Both materials are made from fossil fuels, but producing plastic is much less energy-intensive than steel<\/strong>. \u00a0With the added benefits of lighter weight and longer blade life, plastic doctor blades are the more eco-friendly choice.<\/p>\n
