Pigments for a greener tomorrow.
We are facing one of humanity's greatest challenges: the environmental crisis. To address this, the EU has implemented stricter regulations and mandates for sustainability, serving as essential tools for governance and international cooperation. Pigment and dye technologies, which significantly contribute to water pollution and chemical waste, are now under closer scrutiny.
Compliance with these regulations is a positive step forward, encouraging industries to adopt more sustainable practices. Driven by EU directives and UN sustainability goals, companies are seeking innovative solutions to reduce their environmental impact and adhere to these new standards.
Sustainable pigments:
Innovation meets regulation
The industry is increasingly facing stricter regulations regarding the use of microplastics and chemicals that can be carcinogenic, hormone-disrupting, or bioaccumulative. Traditionally, modifying the characteristics of pigments has involved coating them in polymer films, essentially plastics.
Our technology eliminates the need for plastics, resulting in a completely plastic-free solution. By utilizing larger pigment particles instead of tiny dye particles, we enable compliance with these stringent regulations.
Another significant challenge the industry faces is the origin of the pigments used. Many conventional pigments are derived from rare minerals, which are limited in supply, or are fossil-based and synthetic, posing sustainability and ethical issues. In contrast, our technology utilizes abundant, non-fossil-based materials that are readily available and do not require extracting pigments from conflict zones. This ensures a more sustainable and responsible approach to pigment production.
‘Innovative pigment tech provides sustainability, reduces harm, and meets
EU standards for a greener industry.’
The best way to address the environmental impact of pigments is through innovation. Our cutting-edge pigment technology offers a sustainable solution by minimizing the release of harmful particles into the water supply. This advancement not only reduces pollution but also helps industries comply with increasingly stringent EU regulations.
By enhancing pigment properties for various applications, we provide a more environmentally friendly alternative that supports both industry needs and global sustainability goals.
