DuPont (www.renewable.dupont.com) introduced two new families of renewably sourced polymers for the packaging market.
• Biomax TPS is a renewably sourced thermoplastic starch for packaging applications. The offering consists of sheet stock that contains 85 to 90% renewably sourced content for thermoformed trays and articles, and resins for injection-molded parts and containers.
• Biomax PTT (polytrimethylterephtalate) injection moldable resin contains up to 35% renewably sourced content for packaging applications. It is suitable for use in injection-molded containers, cosmetic packaging and other parts where polyesters are used.

Hartness International (www.hartness.com/News/H-Inks_PR_April08.htm) introduces Uvaclear, an ultraviolet curable ink that is supplied in a wide range of colors, including metallics. Uvaclear is ecologically friendly and directly supports sustainability by eliminating heavy metals. It utilizes substantially less energy than a traditional applied ceramic label process and eliminates waste generated by paper labels. The organic nature of the ink makes it suitable for recycling as it is burned off during the recycle process without contamination. This technology also offers a sustainable alternative to sleeve labels.
