| Carbon Neutral NatureFlex Film Supports Development of Anaerobic Digestion, 02/25/2010 06:00 PM |
Innovia Films has gained CarbonNeutral® certification for its full range of cellulose-based NatureFlex™ coated biodegradable and compostable packaging films.
The certification was achieved following an independent assessment of the CO2 emissions produced in the manufacture of coated NatureFlex products and then a reduction of this to net zero through carbon offsetting. The carbon offset projects that counter balance the CO2 emissions were specifically chosen as they support the development of anaerobic digestion (AD) facilities in the Netherlands. The carbon offset project reduce...

| Henkel's Technomelt Supra Cool 130 Packaging Adhesive Improves Sustainability Performance, 07/26/2010 07:00 PM |
Just a few months after its launch, the newly developed Technomelt Supra Cool 130 packaging adhesive from Henkel has already surpassed the high expectations put on it. Its benefits include high bond strength, excellent thermal stability, outstanding flowability, and a broader application spectrum than EVA-based hotmelts – and all of this at a processing temperature of only 130°C in the melter.
Its performance sets new benchmarks: tests in customer production lines across Europe have shown that the use of Technomelt Supra Cool 130 can almost halve the adhesive usage in some cases. This ...

| Inline Coating - Technology of the Future, 07/21/2010 07:00 PM |
10 February 2010 - Inline coating in film stretching machines is steadily growing in importance. The refining of films enables the achievement of higher margin and better benefit. Refining results in the coatings obtaining almost all desired characteristics, from anti-static, anti-block and anti-fog to steam and oxygen barriers, coatings which improve scratch resistance of film surface or write-ability as well as primers, topcoats and silicone treatments. The RECO series provides the possibility to integrate a coating technology directly into a film stretching process with minimal effort.

| PIDA France Expands to Two Participating Institutions, 07/18/2010 07:00 PM |
The Packaging Impact Design Award (PIDA) France has widened its scope after extending an invitation to The European Institute for Packaging Technology (Esepac), which joined the other university that had participated previously, IUT in Reims. Esepac was the winning institution at an event and award ceremony in Reims in May. Every year, PIDA, a packaging competition sponsored by Swedish paper manufacturer Korsnäs, has a different theme and the brief this year was to give old packaging a new lease on life – in other words, to indentify an alternative purpose beyond its original role.
