Under the motto: Are we ready to live in a plastic world? We take action, Raúl Sanahuja, Communications Manager of EPSON IBERICA, today began his conference "Responsible printing for a sustainable textile industry" during C!Print Madrid 2019, the show dedicated to visual communication. Sanahuja showed attendees how digital printing can transform the textile industry towards a more sustainable business model. Sanahuja has revealed that "textile printing equipment using inkjet allows 80% energy savings, consumes 60% less water and, therefore, considerably reduces the generation of waste associated with the production process . " B.SEArcular is a circular economy project in which EPSON, SEAQUAL and the LCI Barcelona design school participate "Our idea is to reach the entire production chain," confessed the Communications Manager of EPSON IBERICA, which is why the company has started the B.SEArcular project together with the international platform SEAQUAL and the LCI Barcelona design school with the objective to clean the Mediterranean Sea of plastics and reintroduce them into the digital market.
Sanahuja explained the processes that make up this project: firstly, Sequal is responsible for converting plastics collected in the Mediterranean Sea into polyester threads ; Next, the LCI design Romania Phone Number List school creates its projects based on the fabric obtained, and prints them with EPSON printers . The four best projects go on to parade on the 080 catwalk in Barcelona and, subsequently, can be recycled and create new ones, thus closing the circle of Sustainable Economy. The representative of EPSON IBERICA has also taken the opportunity to present two of the large format printers that the company has launched: Supercolor SC-F6300 Supercolor SC-F9300 , designed to reduce energy consumption.

Accompanying Sanahuja was Hector Moras , clothing designer and creator of the brand NOT WITHOUT MY DOG , along with his partner Marysia Maza. This clothing brand is characterized by being a brand aimed at both humans and dogs, and by manufacturing all its products in an artisanal and sustainable way.
To achieve this, they print their fabrics in their Barcelona workshop with textile printers, which offers them great advantages, such as "they have very little margin for error," says Moras. In digital printing there are no dyes and chemicals used in the traditional textile industry. Furthermore, the inks are water-based , which presents a new panorama in which "the dyes and chemicals used in the traditional textile industry do not exist," says Moras. Another advantage of digital printing in the textile industry is that " they allow you to make small runs , with a few meters of fabric and put all the prints you want on it," indicated the creator of NOT WITHOUT MY DOG. The main thing for this brand was to look for suppliers that were environmentally sound and committed to child exploitation , explained Moras, who began working with European suppliers. "Now we are entering the world of recycled polyester , but it is complicated because manufacturers do not sell to small producers," he concluded. Finally, Sanahuja referred to the claim "The world turns off", and encouraged attendees to avoid it based on small events, and to activate new production and sales avenues that have to do with a new sustainable lifestyle.
