The use of water-based inks reduces the VOC emissions and environmental impact, protecting both the workers’ health and the ecosystem. ImballCenter chooses this technology to offer safe and eco-friendly food packaging that is coherent with the principles of sustainability
The new EUROPEAN PACKAGING AND PACKAGING WASTE REGULATION (PPWR) introduces binding rules for the entire packaging life cycle: from design to end-of-life. The goals are:
• Reduce packaging waste
• Foster the recycling and reuse of materials
• Ensure clear and uniform labelling for consumers
• Empower producers in the management of the packaging placed on the market
•
IMBALLCENTER'S COMMITMENT:
The use of water-based inks, free from solvents and harmful substances, improves the recyclability of materials and reduces CO emissions
Unlike NC-based solvent inks, water-based ones do not contain nitrocellulose resins, making the packaging compatible with mechanical recycling plants currently in use
