At Kernow Coatings, we are proud to be at the forefront of sustainable print innovation. For over 50 years, we have dedicated ourselves to developing high-performance print media that respects both professional standards and environmental responsibility. Today, our expanding range of PVC-free substrates enables forward-thinking brands and print professionals to create boldly, without compromising the planet.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) has long been a standard in wide-format printing. However, it’s increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact, from the release of harmful chlorine-based by-products during manufacturing to poor end-of-life recyclability. That’s why PVC-free alternatives are more than a trend – they represent the future of responsible printing.
PVC-free substrates avoid the toxic by-products associated with PVC production and disposal. Many are recyclable or biodegradable, reducing landfill impact and supporting circular economy goals. They typically require less energy to produce, lowering their overall carbon footprint.
PVC-free materials are often lighter than traditional PVC, which lowers shipping costs and makes installation quicker and easier, without sacrificing strength or durability.
Our PVC-free products are engineered for both indoor and outdoor use, offering:
From roll-up display films, floor graphics, wallcoverings, to window graphics, our PVC-free products meet the needs of diverse print applications. They are fully compatible with multiple print technologies, including eco-solvent, UV, and latex printing, giving you flexibility without compromise.
