Focus on Renewable Energy and Efficiency
We, at Flexi Print have prioritized reducing the power consumption and introducing renewable energy methods to our factory in order to attain carbon neutral status in the near future. We have succeeded in significantly reducing our water and electricity consumption through the implementation of the DuPont thermal plate processing system in the pre-press stage. We have also identified the potential of solar energy to power factories in the Sri Lankan context as it is a tropical country with year round sunlight. We currently generate --- kW of solar energy through roof solar panels which are added to the national grid daily.

Promote green Practices
Flexi Print promotes increasing forest coverage in Sri Lanka which is vital for the quality of life of humans and animals alike. Currently, it nurtures 3,800 timber trees of over 20 varieties in Gurubeula estate down south in Colombo. We have also established a partnership with Halcyon group which advises companies on carbon trading. In this ongoing project, the trees are geo-tagged while the carbon we output is calculated which is traded as carbon points for the oxygen volume that we produce. The project is evolving and improving every passing year demonstrating promising results for us to emerge as a carbon neutral company in the near future.
