<p>I hadn't narrowed it down really because I wasn't sure what was available in terms of inks and dyestuffs - we were really expecting to be led by the most eco-friendly pigments!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Would I be right in thinking that screen-printing would be the most environmentally-friendly process?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Or would you recommend another, kinder process?</p>

<p>Because I'm an illustrator, I was thinking of using my illustrration work as the printed visuals - examples of my illustrations are on my EFN page or on my website: <a href="http://www.carolryder.com">www.carolryder.com</a></p>

<p>Hmm.. let me find out.</p>
<p>What printing technique were you hoping to use- there are so many, it'd be good to narrow it down with what you're looking for visually?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Hi there,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks so much for replying - I've had a look at the page you linked and it does indeed seem to ffer something along the lines of what we are looking for - you may very well be able to help us!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most specifically, at the moment we are using a 100% recycled PET fabric (ployethylene triepthalate), which can itself be 100% recycled to perfect quality IF the chemicals used in printing and dyeing don't 'contamnate' the material.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Are you able to tell us if any of the printing / dyeing processes suggested would be able to colour the material without contaminating the material for recycling purposes?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If not, can you point us in the direction of anyone who can give us this specific information?</p>
