Coloring Compostable Packaging
Conscious is colorful: We prove it with pigments for compostable plastics and inks
Consumers show increasing awareness for the goods they buy, the ingredients these goods are made of as well as their packaging materials. As brand owners take responsibility for the complete life cycle of their products, industrial composting is a sustainable solution.
Our recommended pigment selection for compostable plastics and printing is based on the evaluation of the pigment composition according to the requirements of EN 13432.
We offer alternative colorants
…to heavy metal, primary aromatic amines or halogen containing pigments which are suspected to be hazardous to human health and environment
We define internal purity limits
…to comply with current and upcoming global legislations and regulations
We engage in product stewardship
… as dedicated sensitive applications experts are a fundamental element of the voluntary Responsible Care® initiative
