Michelman recently announced that two of its Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI)-certified compostable coatings have received international recognition.
The mission of the International Molded Fiber Association is to promote the global use of molded fiber products and advocate for environmental sustainability.
In its continuing effort to enable more sustainable packaging solutions for the circular economy, Michelman has expanded its network by joining the International Molded Fiber Association.
Henkel recently announced that it has expanded its RE range, which is “designed for recycling,” to include both hot- and cold-sealable coatings for paper.
The BPI-certified coatings are reportedly proven to biodegrade in an industrial compost environment and can be used in typical quantities in the applications for which they are designed, with minimal limitations.
Michelman recently announced that several of its products have complied with the specifications established by the American Society for Testing and Materials standards ASTM D6400 and D6868 per the terms and conditions of Biodegradable Products Institute’s (BPI) certification program for compostable products.
In terms of mechanical recycling solutions, BASF has reportedly developed adhesives for flexible packaging that facilitate the separation of multi-layer structures.
At interpack 2020, which will be held in Düsseldorf on May 7-13, personnel from BASF and BTC Europe, BASF’s European distribution organization, will present a range of plastics, dispersions for adhesives, and resins and additives for printing inks and barrier coatings.
Henkel shared several solutions that the adhesives technical teams are developing to enable and enhance sustainable and recyclable products in the packaging, consumer, and constructions industries.
Henkel Corp. recently welcomed Governor Phil Murphy to its facility in Bridgewater, N.J., to showcase products and designs for customers to enable more sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions for consumers.
The packaging marketplace has a clear need for more functionality in barrier technologies that can provide varying degrees of preservation and protection for many substrates used in food and other packaging.
