Sustainability on the agenda at drupa

Manuel Mataré, director of drupa 2012, says, “The sustainable production of media is not just a sign of responsible behaviour. It is both a future model and an innovation motor in equal measure. For this reason, it is important to us that the subject field of sustainability is an integral part of drupa 2012.”

Under the title Media Mundo @ drupa, organisers plan a special exhibit on sustainability on about 200 m² of exhibition space, offering visitor information, live discussions and presentations from experts and industry players over the two weeks of drupa. They also plan an alternating themed exhibit, involving partners of the Media Mundo initiative along with companies and organisations. They will stream lectures line in the internet and viewers can pose questions in real time.

The range of themes includes sustainable forestry and paper; energy, energy efficiency and climatic change; recycling and material efficiency; process optimisation and sustainable corporate management; sustainable product design; and print as a social medium.

Media Mundo will hold it fourth congress on sustainable media production in Düsseldorf before drupa on March 20-21.
