The Environment and Sustainability

  • The finishing process increases the life of a product
    – it lasts longer in daily use
  • Consumption of raw materials sinks
  • Foils and products laminated with foil are recyclable (cf. test report from the Munich foundation for paper technology PTS-Papiertechnische Stiftung no. 15168 dated 15.05.1992).
  • The proportion of products enhanced by finishing in relation to total paper  consumption in Germany is less than 0.3%,  long-lasting items such as books account for about half of  the total
  • Biodegradable and compostable foils and varnishes which meet DIN EN 13432:2000 standards are available

Plus

  • Exclusive adhesives made from renewable bases are  available

These are also

  • Suitable for use in direct contact with foods
  • Sealable
  • Impermeable to water
  • Have good barrier properties
