If so, EcoPrint would have tackled some of your greatest fears head on – and if you missed the event in Berlin last week, you missed a cracker. The seminar content was superb – which is why it’s such a shame there were so few UK printers there (apart from those on the various panels). But the organisers have confirmed that the event will definitely run again next year – alongside Ifra in Berlin on 8 – 9 October. That may have people thinking it’s going to be newspaper focussed, but I’ve been promised that won’t be the case and that it will be relevant to all in the print space. Personally, what I would also like to see at that second show would be a tweaking of the exhibition part of the event – to include more involvement from the likes of ‘green’ energy companies, telephone suppliers, HR experts, eco consultants etc. – representatives from all involved in the various parts of the sustainability chain.
