Focus on Sustainable Products Endutex
Reinventing PVC for a more sustainable future of print
PVC has long been the backbone of large-format printing, but its environmental impact is hard to ignore. For printers looking to reduce their footprint without sacrificing performance, Endutex has created the Biotex range which offers a more sustainable way forward. Biotex is not PVC-free – it’s a reimagined version of PVC that incorporates recycled yarn and a coating derived from wood-based residues sourced from the forestry industry. This innovative approach has removed the reliance on virgin fossil-based materials and given waste a second life. For large-format printers, Biotex Banner and Biotex Mesh
delivers the durability and print quality expected from traditional PVC, while offering a more responsible material choice. It’s compatible with solvent, UV and latex inks, making it suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications. With a surface finish that supports vibrant, high-resolution output, print professionals are reassured that sustainability definitely doesn’t mean compromising on visual impact. Manufactured in Europe by Endutex, Biotex comes with a cradle-to-gate Life Cycle Assessment, which adds another layer of credibility for printers who work with environmentally conscious clients. The material is also REACH compliant, meeting stringent EU standards for chemical safety, and is EN13501 B s2 d0 fire rated.

As demand grows for greener signage solutions, the Biotex range helps printers stay ahead of the curve. Sustainability in print isn’t just about moving away from PVC – it’s about making informed choices that balance environmental responsibility with business needs. Biotex offers that balance, helping printers meet client expectations and contribute to a more sustainable future for the industry.
