Altkin's CSR commitment through OWA® solutions
The eco-designed OWA printing alternatives offer sustainable performance for CSR and CSRD compliance.
We are committed to supporting companies in their transition to a circular economy by offering responsible printing solutions through our OWA brand. OWA consumables are designed based on the circular economy principle of reuse, meeting the requirements of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), particularly on Scope 3, by reducing indirect emissions throughout the product's lifecycle. Through an approach centered on reuse, refurbishment, and recycling, OWA consumables enhance traceability and environmental performance within a comprehensive CSR strategy.
