Can we have recycled packaging with top-quality color?

WE LOVE:

  • Packaging our products in boxes that look good with uniform and stable color
  • Using recycled packaging knowing that it can be recycled again

BUT DID YOU KNOW:

  • Paper-based packaging are often dyed with colorants containing high amounts of acid which can be harmful to mill operators…
  • … and tend to quickly fade in sunlight causing defects in appearance

The Archroma Way to a Sustainable World: Safe, Efficient, Enhanced. It’s Our Nature.

  1. SAFE - IT'S OUR NATURE TO PROTECT
    A solid core: Our deeply rooted goal to protect people and our planet.
    Safe to use, safe to release and safe to touch and wear.

  2. EFFICIENT – IT’S OUR NATURE TO RETHINK SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING
    Innovating application processes that minimize resources and maximize productivity, both in our and our customers’ manufacturing as well as by setting ourselves ambitious sustainability goals.
  3. ENHANCED – IT’S OUR NATURE TO ADD ANOTHER LEVEL OF VALUE
    Your innovation is critical. Additional effects, functionalities and aesthetics give additional value, helping consumers to achieve their goals, for a life enhanced
