Green and clean with IPA-free solution

CPI chief executive Mike Taylor took the mantle of BPIF president last summer (UK) with a pledge to put the environment at the top of the agenda. As proof of his green commitment, he also vowed to go alcohol-free at Fulmar Colour, the firm he founded. It seemed a safe bet, as Fulmar works director David Copson and the team of minders had already done much of the necessary work, including a rigorous 18-month trial on one press. By June 2007, the British firm had switched to 100 per cent isopropyl alcohol (IPA) free production, and hasn’t looked back.
