In this podcast interview, Marcus talks with Rick Bellamy, the Dscoop Executive Chair & Managing Director at Inflecton, LLC in the USA. Prior to Dscoop, Rick was CEO at RPI, providers of personalized print services for businesses worldwide.  He also held positions as CEO of Ivey Imaging, a marketing services company providing brand solutions for retail stores; Chief Applications Architect for RR Donnelley’s Premedia technologies group; partner and VP of Technology for Iridio; and founder of E.pr, an early internet startup and pioneer in content management and high resolution distribution services to media and retail companies.

In this discussion, Rick makes a strong case for getting started with sustainability and that in many cases, people over-focus on the destination and under-focus on the journey towards a more sustainable future. We also discuss how the environment itself is incredibly powerful and has the ability to regenerate. Rick makes the point that the planet can recover, we as humans need to focus more on making changes to protect our species!

Rico Sauerborn is COO of the Durst Group, a global technology leader in the development and manufacturing of large format inkjet printing equipment for graphics, ceramics, textiles, labels and corrugated materials.

In this episode, Frazer and Rico discuss Durst's commitment to sustainability, shaped by its experience with climate change. The company has achieved net zero Scope 2 emissions and reduced energy consumption by two-thirds compared to 2019. They have also installed a PV power plant, and both of its manufacturing facilities are powered by home-generated solar energy and purchased 100% renewable energy. Durst's real challenge is to address Scope 3 with limited standardization, reducing product carbon footprints for internal benchmarking. 

Finally, while Durst is comfortable driving sustainability on its own, there is also a need to collaborate with the authorities, for example when it comes to developing a new mobility concept for commuting employees.

Marc & Frazer consider the key trends and market opportunities for UV Inkjet in Industrial Applications. 

Covering Sign & Display as the print providers move to a more diverse application range such as decorative printing Marc discusses how many of the new printers are now hybrid (print on boards and rolls) and require a more general-purpose ink performance.

He then looks at specific decorative printing in Industry sectors including furniture, automotive, and product printing, considering whether we should choose fully digital or favour the hybrid printing approach.

Finally, Marc & Frazer considers ‘What is next in industrial applications? Is it more of the same, or an evolution, with more and more adaptive approaches and even more different applications?
