Ecological Ideas

Ecology is more than just biodegradable packaging. It’s a philosophy that has been with our company from the very beginning. Eticod strives to maintain a sustainable environmental policy, caring not only for its material status but also for the surrounding environment and local community.

Anyone can print labels on ecological materials, but the most important thing is to do it in an ecological way. Thanks to innovative solutions and modern technology, we not only print ecological labels but, above all, we print them in an ecological way.

Ecological solutions

Our printing house was designed as a passive building, with the main source of energy being the heat accumulated in the ground. The vertical boreholes located on our site have a total length of over 3 km. To ensure the right climate and temperature in the company, we mainly use ground source heat pumps – currently 7 units. To obtain the highest system efficiency, we use low-temperature water capillary mats and phase change mats – most often hidden in walls, but also in ceilings and floors.

Additional support systems are ground-air heat exchangers located under the production hall and in green areas with a capacity of over 7000 m3 per hour. The entire ventilation system uses recuperators, and we use excess heat in winter to heat parking lots.

In the production hall, we have used flat panel radiators to minimize air movement and reduce dust movement.

As one of the few companies, we do not use chillers to cool printing machines, and our own 50,000W photovoltaic power plant allows us to be even more eco-friendly.

In our company, we do not have air conditioners, heaters, or traditional light sources. We use 100% LED lamps for lighting. External blinds and shutters connected to a weather station, which constantly react to the external weather situation, are a very good barrier against excessive sunlight. Thanks to a huge number of sensors, valves, and bypasses, we can maintain a constant temperature and humidity regardless of the time of day or year. The whole system is controlled by a very intelligent, proprietary control system in a mobile version and on a PC.
