Leach has revealed ‘eco’ additions to its portfolio, following 12 months of research and development alongside a focused industry study.
The Yorkshire-headquartered company has invested over 100 hours into its product offering over the past year. Now available to customers are 16 PVC-free, recycled or recyclable materials - with a ‘return to base’ model encouraging users to send back any obsolete graphics for onward recycling.
To gain customer insight, Leach recently polled 164 decision-makers from some of the world’s leading brands - including Vauxhall, Arcadia Group, Estée Lauder and Beaverbrooks. Over half of the respondents said that being ‘green’ was a strategic priority for their board, with 49% stating their company’s investment into environmentally conscious products would increase in 2020. Interestingly, 64% of people said purchasing decisions were made with the eco impact in mind.
James Lavin, managing director at Leach, said: “It’s no secret that the environmental issues in society have pushed companies to adopt a greater ‘eco stance’ - in the quest to ensure business remains strong while striving to protect the planet. Leach has always been of this mindset, but we’ve taken things a step further with the launch of our complete eco range. We’ve already received some fantastic feedback and, importantly, these greener solutions have no detrimental impact on the high-quality results provided - the ‘wow factor’ is still extremely apparent!”
Leading the charge is the newly-launched Eco Screen textile made from 100% recycled yarn. The Leach Box meanwhile, is the latest iteration of the firm’s lightbox. With power consumption having been reduced by 30% and having slashed manufacturing time in half, the new design centres around a reduction in carbon footprint.
