Going Green: Worldwide Laser Announces Laser Marking Applications are Environmentally Friendly & Green

Gilbert, AZ (PRWEB) February 4, 2009 -- Laser systems from Worldwide Laser Co2, YAG, Fiber, and UV all have the ability to meet industrial production requirements, protect your products and customers with proper product markings and do so in an environmentally friendly and responsible manner. The LP series of Laser from Worldwide Laser provide for marking, cutting, and etching of products without any additives, sprays, or chemicals which are environmentally hazardous. This is important in terms of environmental considerations as certain additives like some ink and color spray agents can be considered environmentally damaging, the solvents, cleaning agents, and maintenance procedures associated with ink marking and ink based systems can also create environmental issues and concerns. Some jurisdictions and regulatory authorities have made or are planning regulations that would ban ink from food, medical, and pharmaceutical production areas and manufacturing facilities. The time to start planning and installing laser marking and laser cutting systems which are environmentally friendly and operate in a sustainable manner, while providing the consumer and product protection lasers systems allow, has arrived Worldwide Laser can help, 480.892.8566 option 5

This applications report will highlight an important environmentally friendly green application which features the LP8100 100w Co2 laser system at Aspenware www.apenware.ca.

Aspenware produces the very best biodegradable wooden cutlery in the world. The aspen and birch wood that used is incidentally harvested during the normal operations of the softwood forestry industry. The cutlery is manufactured entirely out of natural materials, environmentally responsible and earth friendly manufacturing is a driving force of Apenwares business. When Aspenware needed to find a way to put custom logos on the cutlery the choice was Worldwide Laser Service Corporation www.wlsc.com. WLSC supplied Aspenware with a state of the art automated system that engraves their cutlery using laser technology. Eliminating any possible impact on the environment from dyes or chemicals by using the Laser System, it was an important element in picking WLSC as the laser supplier. The laser was easily integrated into Aspenware's prototype manufacturing machinery and the final result is customized cutlery that adds brand recognition for our customers and us!
