Sustainability at BOWA – Responsibility in Every Ink
Since its founding in 1998, sustainability has been a core focus at BOWA GmbH. We develop, produce, and supply Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) inks that not only impress with their technical performance but are also manufactured in an environmentally responsible and REACH-compliant manner.
Environmentally Conscious Production in Germany
Short Distances, Great Impact
We produce exclusively in Germany and deliberately keep supply chains short to reduce emissions and conserve resources. Our 3-day express production avoids unnecessary warehousing, and all shipments are sent CO₂-neutral with DPD.
ISO-Certified Quality Management
Systematic Responsibility
At BOWA, quality is not just a promise—it is certified and verifiable. BOWA operates under a quality management system compliant with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015. The certificate confirms adherence to defined standards for the production and distribution of industrial printer ink. These standards guarantee:
- ZTransparent & Traceable Processes
- ZContinuous Improvement
- ZHigh Product Safety & Traceability
Quality isn’t a project—it’s our standard.
Sustainable Materials & Safe Ingredients
Free from Hazardous Substances – Tested & Documented
All BOWA inkjet inks comply with the REACH Regulation and contain no SVHC substances (Substances of Very High Concern). The conscious avoidance of toxic ingredients has been part of our corporate philosophy since our founding. Our inks are:
- ZSafe for People & Environment
- ZChemically Stable & Low-Emission
- ZOptimized for Food & Pharmaceutical Packaging
Innovation Through Responsibility
Sustainability in Research & Development
Our research department continuously works on resource-saving ink formulations and new sustainable alternatives to conventional solvents. In doing so, we combine technical performance with ecological responsibility.
One example: our BOWA Bioprint inks, made from renewable raw materials (bioethanol), ideal for food labeling and environmentally conscious applications.
