Following the Sustainable Innovations Loop for Economical Recycling

When you step towards the circular economy, new and engaging ways are required to be found in the businesses which are helpful in keeping the circulation of the material for a longer period of time. If the product is paper-based, then a lot of manufacturing companies have already reached to the long-life cycles but if it is the Plastic raw material then it is important for the manufacturing companies to reach to the same point. Sustainable ways are required and must be looked upon in order to keep using the plastic as the raw material. It is important to recycle it, reuse it and just turned into a compostable packaging. The plastic waste must be handled with care and target must be zero land-filling sites.

At various stages of manufacturing processes, the waste created by Plastic raw material must be streamlined and those factories which stream out them, they must handle it properly. Both manufacturing costs and environment gets impacted and it is very hard to replace the plastic.

Concentrates of Coloring Masterbatches
Some of the color masterbatches are the processed coloring plastics which are subjected to produce different types of products. The additives like color dyes, pigments are added during the process and some different types of additives are added when the polymer compound gets cooled and extruded. Resins as per the requirement and natural polymer are added to the extruded pellet of colored masterbatches to create the final product.

The chemical industry is growing significantly, and more countries have started using color masterbatches. The granules have been used along with variety of polymer additives which changes the properties of the finished product and sometimes it happens as per the manufacturer requirements as well. The color masterbatches have the biggest advantage that they can be used against any type of resin which is available in the market. The finished product is cooled down and then transformed into the granular shape which is easy to use and transport. The performance of these colored masterbatches enhances the end product and the additives mixed boost the processing.

Efficient and Game-Changing Indigo Pack Ready Lamination Solution

It has now become so easy to create great product packaging that has grown beyond the simple printing process. You can now get ready-to-pack finishing processes for the products, for example, lamination and coating which potentially add the number of days to the cycle of production. Using the Indigo Pack Ready, you can negate the extra time gained especially during the process of digital printing. The lead time of production can be challenged and eliminated using the Indigo Pack Ready Lamination solution.

The chemical-free system is energy efficient and the digital Pack Ready lamination allows the converters to meet the growing demand of the market at a faster rate of time. The Indigo Pack Ready has increased the overall throughput and reduces the total costs. A significant reduction in material waste after usage has been recorded since the changeover of the job. The non-adhesive solution for lamination is by far the best way that requires no time for curing for lamination and packaging is flexible as well.

Designing an Environmentally Safe Packaging Solution
From the consumer mind, Polyplex is developing an environmentally safe solution in the form of Pack Ready films which are fit for maintaining a grade quality of food when comes in contact. It also complies with all the key safety regulations based on the global food packaging group. The well-defined conditions of the Indigo Pack Ready Laminations pose no risk of migration of chemicals and adhesive when they come in contact with the product.

The Polyplex has developed the indigo pack Ready Lamination which produces waste up to 10 times less than that of adhesive lamination. Mid-Size runs have become more economical and produce lesser number of wastes ever since the Pack Ready has been introduced. There is no dry time involved and this has made the process more efficient. The impact on the environment is lesser and the Indigo Pack Ready is easy to operate and maintain. It involves low cost of hardware. In fact, it provides an opportunity for the newcomers with a way to expand the range of their laminated products and applications.
