BEPS is an abbreviation of Bunseikaku Ecology Printing System, which is the comprehensive environment-responsive printing system based on “Waterless Printing” supported by BUNSEIKAKU core technology. In other words, BEPS is a printing policy to achieve more environment-friendly printing.
We promote the introduction of waterless printing, FSC-certified paper, recycled paper, tree-free paper, and paper made from chlorine-free pulp, the use of waterless soy ink “BEPS series” and UV ink for easy deinking, and the shift from PP coating to gloss varnishing.
In addition, we promote the introduction of CTP and the commitment to the industrial waste recycling resulting in reduction in intermediate materials, and fulfill the needs of the customers who place importance on environmental concerns.
