One of the program highlights of the celebration day on 15 October is a seminar entitled ‘Integration of Industry and Education on Green and Digital Printing under Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Strategy.’ As part of this topical presentation on sustainability, Florian Hölzle, XSYS Product Manager for the nyloflex and nylosolv portfolios, will share valuable insights into the key trends that are driving market developments and technological innovation in flexographic platemaking and printing. Commenting on the significance of this seminar, Mr. Hölzle said, “At XSYS, we are dedicated to advancing sustainable solutions for the printing and packaging industry.
