Paper is widely used in many packaging application and often requires a layer of plastic to perform as needed. This combination is usually non recyclable wasting precious paper resources and generating additional plastic pollution. AquaFlex is a breakthrough polymer for paper application suitable for paper recycling making it a unique solution for the circular economy. AquaFlex offer many benefits: - It is a great printing surface ideal for hangtag and other printed paper - Very strong heat-sealing for many packaging applications - Impressive oxygen, aroma, oil and solvent barrier - Resistant to viruses, microbes and molding - Curbside recyclable with normal paper - 100% ecofriendly, biodegradable, compostable, marine safe AquaFlex can be applied to paper in different ways: - Film lamination - Extrusion coating - Liquid coating (on picture) What will be your application to this innovative materials? How will you differentiate from the competition? Our team is ready to assist you in your project with full technical support.

PLA, a plastic made from plants like corn starch, is shaking things up in the plastics world! It's a much greener choice than traditional plastics based on fossil fuels. Making PLA involves turning starch into a substance called lactic acid, and then linking those molecules together to form the final plastic. This "plant-based plastic" is not only good for the environment, but it also breaks down naturally, making it ideal for things like food packaging, 3D printing, clothes, and even medical tools. While it's still not as widely used as traditional plastics (2.8 million tons in 2023 compared to a whopping 367 million), PLA is growing super fast at 20-30% each year. Sure, there are still some cost and infrastructure challenges, but with more research and a push towards sustainability, this groundbreaking bioplastic has a bright future!

Sustainable fabric printing by using pre-consumed cellulosic textile wastes: The effect of waste particle content

To produce high-quality packaging for the European food industry, processors, besides having efficient means of production, must more than ever be prepared to break new ground. The requirements of the EU Plastics Pact are ambitious: By 2030, all plastic packaging must be 100 % recyclable and contain at least 30 % recycled material. “rPET” is the highly promising response to this challenge, which the partner companies Engel, Alpla, Brink, IPB Printing and Intopack have tried and tested in practice.

Alternative of Shrink Pack Collation : Hug & Hold Packs Introducing the future of sustainable packaging - Hug & Hold packs by Mondi Group! This innovative solution offers a complete paper-based sleeve and carrier concept to replace collation shrink film for PET bottles. With the potential of reducing carbon footprint by 35%. Hug & Hold packs consist of a corrugated handle and a 100% Kraft paper-made sleeve that is recyclable and made from renewable materials. The glued sleeves keep the bottles upright and hold them together during transit, making it easy to handle for consumers. This sustainable solution has already been implemented by Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite, and Mezzo mix brands, proving its reliability and effectiveness. The printing technologies used for handles range from offset to high-quality post-print and standard flexo for sleeves. Not only is it environmentally friendly, but it's also easy to dispose of. The end-of-life assumptions calculations for paper/paperboard are better than plastics, making it a great choice! #packaging #sustainability #recycling #technology #innovation #environmentallyfriendly #printing #packingsolutions

Hello Friends !! Siegwerk, a leading name in packaging inks for sensitive applications like Food, Pharma etc , is at the forefront of innovation when it comes to sustainable solutions!! For years, PVC-based inks have dominated the Indian Gravure printing scene. However, their negative impact on recyclability is a growing concern. Siegwerk's commitment goes beyond immediate solutions. We're focused on safe, circular, and digital packaging for future generations. That's why we're excited to be one of the key drivers in the PVC-free inks revolution! Why is this important? 👉 Globally, PVC is a major barrier to recycling printed plastics. 👉 Brands worldwide are increasingly pledging to use PVC-free packaging. 👉 Continued use of PVC-based inks hinders India's progress towards circular economy goals. Together, with our partners across the value chain, we can usher in a new era of sustainable packaging! Join our experts for the webinar on PVC free Inks.

🌱 As we are coming towards the last month of the project, let's take a moment to revisit the various applications of PHA materials in the nenu2PHAr project: 🍽️Food Packaging: We have developed environmentally conscious flat film, which is further thermoformed into stand-up pouches for dry food and plastic cups, providing both product preservation and compostability, thereby minimizing environmental impact. 💄 Cosmetic Packaging: A roll-on type of packaging for liquid cosmetics, predominantly used for antiperspirant, offers a versatile application with a set comprising a bottle, screw-on closure, and ball for precise dosing and application on the skin. 🖨️ 3D Printing Filament: Development of compostable biobased filaments with comparable size to current ones, suitable processability, heat resistance and good mechanical properties. 🏥 Medical Device: Advantages of PHA for textiles are its tunable biodegradability, biocompatibility and mechanical properties similar to the fossil-based polypropylene. PHA filaments and yarns could therefore be of interest for a range of textile applications such as agrotextiles, 3D printing filaments, medical filaments and wipes, etc. 🧵 Agrotextile: PHA-based compostable agrotextiles offer an attractive solution to reduce weeding and improve soil biodegradation, countering the prevalent environmental contamination caused by non-biodegradable fossil-based alternatives used in both professional and private markets.
