Taya Groups, the manufacturer of the Kavalan range of PVC-free banners and textiles, has launched what it is calling the ‘world’s first’ Eco Calculator for large-format banner materials.
The calculator is intended to make it simpler for businesses to evaluate and understand the eco savings of the Kavalan range, available via CMYUK in the UK and Ireland. There are currently 12 products available for comparison with their PVC banner and textile counterparts on the calculator.
The data it provides is based on the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) process conducted by SGS, a leading testing, inspection and certification company. SGS conducted LCAs on all the latest Kavalan products, with Taya claiming that the resulting data showed that the materials provide significant eco savings.
‘At Taya we put a great deal of effort into ensuring Kavalan’s environmental credentials are outstanding, and we are continuously striving to make our products even more environmentally-friendly,’ said vice president Vincent Lin. ‘But that’s not enough, we also need to make sure we are making it easy for businesses to understand how Kavalan products can help them meet their sustainable goals, and to see just how significant the eco savings are compared with PVC banner and textiles.
‘As we continue to rapidly expand our worldwide distribution network, large-format print businesses working with or pitching to agencies and brands have a powerful tool in the Kavalan Eco Calculator. No more lazy claims about recyclability, sustainability, or eco-friendly – Kavalan’s Eco Calculator can tangibly demonstrate to your clients how it can help them with crucial environmental targets without compromising on quality.’
