The 5th Media Mundo Congress will try and focus on the important issues of economic sustainability. Printing and media industry are also looking for practical and viable business models for sustainable economic growth.

Werner M Dornscheidt, President and CEO of Messe Dusseldorf, underlines Drupa’s commitment to this subject: “The issue of green printing and sustainability across the entire process chain will be one of the focal points of Drupa 2016. The aspect of sustainability has become a major concern of brand owners all over the world, and they expect their printed communication to adhere to “green” standards. This is a challenge for the industry and printing service providers, and they are well advised not to veer from the path that they have already chosen“.

The Congress is supported by the WWF and the FSC as NGO partners, Antalis (Europe’s leading wholesale group for communication media), IGEPA (one of the leaders in paper wholesalers) and the Swedish SCA group.
