Colors are passion, emotions and personality. At Siegwerk, inks and coatings are our specialty and we use color to bring the packaging and products of our customers to life.
During the recycling process of printed packaging materials, quality is often lost along the way, leading to recyclates that are not up to the standard required to create new packaging materials.
The ink on printed packaging gets degraded through the extrusion process that occurs during recycling. This leads to unattractive discoloration and/or unpleasant odors in the recyclates. This in turn leads to downcycling of recyclates. Avoiding the critical breakdown of materials at high temperatures is therefore key, as this often prevents the re-use of recyclates into new packaging materials.
De-inkable inks and coatings for surface printed polyolefinic films with proven performance within defined deinking process conditions.
