Climate Action
Kornit’s research and development program is driven to support the fashion industry to pollute less, create less landfill, and produce fewer unsold goods. Less pollution means cleaner water, and thus less damage to wildlife and critical ecosystems. Fashion brands and fulfillers choose Kornit technology because it helps them reduce their carbon footprint. By taking the meaningful time towards climate action, which today’s conscientious marketplace demands, Kornit boosts profitability, operational control, and opportunities for adapting and growing throughout.
Life Below Water
The “dry” digital print process by Kornit demands less water for washing and curing imprinted pieces. This results in significantly decreased pollution of freshwater and ocean habitats.
Life on Land
By providing an efficient, agile mechanism for producing on-demand, Kornit technology means only producing what is needed. Thus, reducing the amount of unsold inventory going directly to landfills (or, in other unfortunate cases, being burned). When producers can better align supply with demand, they reduce carbon footprint by eliminating overproduction.
