No, EcoFormat® is a sustainable print initiative introduced by the company SuperGraphics.
Currently, EcoFormat® is offered exclusively at SuperGraphics.
Many large format materials are printed on non-recyclable plastics, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Not only are these plastics harmful to manufacture, but they continue releasing harmful toxins while they slowly break down in the landfill over the course of tens of years. The gases emitted from landfills contribute to climate change and pose a toxic threat to both humans and animals.

We hope that this certificate serves as a continual reminder of the environmental impact you made by selecting EcoFormat®.
