Leo's Green Initiatives

Our Innovation specialists provide customized solutions and designs to provide you with “greener” products and options. By initiating the use of recycled materials, re-designing packaging to reduce the use of plastics, and utilizing smart product construction, our designers have created environmentally-friendly products which use few materials, less energy and fewer resources in their production.

Our prepress processes are streamlined, efficient and have the added benefit of being good for the environment. Using the InSite Approval process, you can conduct proof approvals from anywhere in the world, thereby eliminating the need for physical blueprints and courier deliveries which in turn minimize the carbon footprint of this step in the supply chain. In addition, Soft proofing achieves massive savings in paper, ink, oils and other raw materials. We also use Visualizer and 3D modeling to assist you in visualizing the dynamic model of a print concept, eliminating the need for on-site visits, lengthy prototyping procedures and costly travel. Finally, Computer to plate (CTP) technology allows the image to be placed directly on the printing plate without the need for films.Our chemistry-free thermal plate can save 20 liters of water per plate and does not emit any Voss

Active carbon filters are now used in our silk screen printing workshop. We have also replaced solvent-based processes with water-based processes and we have greatly reduced VOCs.

At Leo we use biodegradable and recycled packaging material in order to contribute to a cleaner, greener and more sustainable environment.

And, a classified waste recovery disposal management system provides standardized workflow for the disposal of waste and ensures that recyclable waste materials are in fact recycled!


At Leo, sensors technology (RFID) with smart manufacturing is a key component of Leo’s green IT solutions. These solutions include:

Green Manufacturing: Through the use of wireless sensor shop floor management, machine attributes can be monitored online, which allows for rapid response and proactive failure prevention. At the same time, this also minimizes scrap and power consumption.


Green Logistics: Widely-deployed RFID gate doors in the factory track items passing in and out of different warehouses and production areas. This not only automates the process and improves our efficiency, but it also allows for visualization of the material flow. Through this accurate process, we maximize our warehouse space, thereby saving power and fuel.

Green Office: Green awareness is included in all employee training according to Leo’s corporate policy. Also, we have adopted various green IT solutions, such as green data center, virtual office, electronic workflow, e-portal and an intelligent power management system in order to save energy in the office.
