RethINK Packaging
We provide a range of tailored solutions for your needs.
By working collaboratively along the value chain, our solutions can help brands close that final toughest mile to achieve goals we know are technically extremely complex but necessary to claim their sustainability pledges!
This is because our solutions help packaging to perform – in conversion (materials, format and filling), on shelf, in consumer usage and post consumption in the waste-to-material process.

Beverage brands aim at a 100% recyclability rate for their bottles, but the label needs to be removed before recycling can take place, a step which may prevent attaining the 100% target.
Increase recyclability
Increase recyclability
The creation of packaging with increased recyclability (such as a 100% recyclable stand up pouch) necessitates the enabling of Surface Print on a monolayer PE stand up pouch to replace PET/PE…
De-inking technology

In order to find a substitute for metalized board and foil stamping, inks and coatings for surface printing must be developed. Metallized film should also be replaced with lower cost printable…
Bio-related solutions
Bio-related solutions
Plastic waste is a global concern, and solutions are needed to avoid plastic packaging ending up in the environment, especially when effective recycling streams are unavailable.
Reducing eco-impact
Reducing eco-impact
As part of the growing global demand for more sustainable products and more sustainable packaging, there is also an interest in renewable raw materials in inks and caotings.
Barrier coatings
Barrier coatings
A more sustainable and efficient alternative to film and foil-based barriers is needed. Metallized substrate are often not efficiently recycled. Less complex packaging structures are more compatible…
Economical supply chains
Economical supply chains
Reduced stock levels and ongoing artwork changes require increased short notice supply of packaging materials.
Circular economy concepts
Circular economy concepts
A brand owner may want to achieve a 100% recyclable packaging structure, or achieve cradle to Cradle (C2C) certification.
Paperization
Paperization
Paper packaging can be limited in scope, which is unfortunate because it has a well-established waste and recycling stream.
Petrochemical-free eco inks
Petrochemical-free eco inks
Brand owners need inks that complement their sustainability objectives and aspirations of recyclable, compostable packaging, or a shift to paperization.
