Paptic Ltd is proud to take part in innovation projects that aim to develop truly circular packaging solutions. One recent example is a Finnish collaboration in which a natural biocolorant derived from roasted coffee production side streams has been successfully used in flexographic printing on fibre-based bag made of Paptic\u00ae material.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is a joint effort between Natural Indigo Finland, Tampere University of Applied Sciences, Meira Oy, Cabassi Oy, and Paptic Ltd.  A water-based ink made with a biocolorant derived from coffee waste was developed which is a renewable, natural alternative to the synthetic pigments typically used in packaging printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result, a flexo-printed bag using Paptic\u00ae as the fibre-based substrate and coloured with ink made from coffee production side streams, is a concrete example of the circular economy in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis is a true circular economy solution. We\u2019ve taken what was once waste and upcycled it into value, replacing synthetic colorants with a fully bio-based pigment made from coffee,\u201d said Pasi Ainasoja, CEO of Natural Indigo Finland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a coffee roastery committed to sustainability, we\u2019re proud that there is a new, alternative way to use this valuable raw material. On top of producing biogas from the side streams we can also utilize it for more sustainable packaging. This collaboration between a start-up, academia, and industry is an inspiring example of cross-sector innovation that creates new concrete sustainable solutions,\u201d said Heidi P\u00e4iv\u00e4niemi<\/strong>, Sustainability, Development & Communication Director at Meira Oy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a significant green innovation in the global packaging print sector, which is worth hundreds of billions of euros annually,\u201d added Dr. Kai Lankinen<\/strong>, who teaches and researches sustainable packaging at Tampere University of Applied Sciences<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Driving packaging sustainability through collaboration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

\u201cThis project reflects the kind of collaboration we value at Paptic – where sustainability, creativity and practical application come together. It\u2019s about more than replacing plastic; it\u2019s about developing better packaging solutions,\u201d says Esa Torniainen<\/strong>, Chief Strategy Officer and Co-founder at Paptic Ltd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
