Koenig & Bauer Durst Announces Certification For Food Safety Water-Based Printing Inks
ShareTweet

The Durst WT Food SP Ink and the Durst WT Food MP Ink product lines meet rigorous lifecycle-based environmental performance criteria as defined in UL’s stringent Ecologo Standard (2801 – 2012 standard for sustainability for printing inks).

Black, cyan, light cyan, magenta, light magenta and yellow inks have all been assessed and include no hazardous components defined by the Ecologo Standard. The products achieved UL Ecologo Certification following the evaluation of multiple criteria throughout a product’s life, including energy use, waste disposal and toxic reductions, among other areas. Using proprietary water-based ink technology, the inks are designed with core technologies to provide automated, productive and food safe printing systems.

The inks are used in Koenig & Bauer Durst’s Delta SPC Flexline Automatic 130 press. The WT Food SP ink was designed for fast print processes on corrugated materials and is used for the single-pass print line. It can be used to realize high quality, odorless, abrasion-resistant, glossy and light-fast corrugated products that precisely meet requirements of the packaging industry. The WT Food MP Ink is used in multi-pass printing.

UL works to advance global sustainability, environmental health, and safety by supporting the growth and development of environmentally preferable products, services and organisations.

Robert Stabler, Managing Director, Koenig & Bauer Durst, said, ‘We have always been focused on offering safe and sustainable solutions for our customers, particularly as food safety, sustainability and packaging are constant topics of conversations for converters and brand owners. Our water-based inks ensure food safety compliance for primary packaging. Ecologo Certification provides third-party verification that our products are manufactured in a way that minimise environmental impact.’

Dr Stefan Kappaun, a member of Durst Group’s executive team who heads the ink business for all segments as Executive Vice President Inks and Fluids, said, ‘The assessment involved months of rigorous discussions and formulation assessments. We are extremely proud to have earned the Ecologo Certificate for our Durst WT Food SP and Food MP ink product lines.’

Alberto Uggetti, Vice President and General Manager of UL’s environment and sustainability division, said, ‘By earning Ecologo Certification, Koenig & Bauer Durst has shown its dedication to a more sustainable way of doing business. Its accomplishment demonstrates industry leadership.’
