Flint Group Packaging Solutions' PLANET portfolio combines proven sheetfed print performance with independently assessed material health.
The range includes conventional and low-migration process inks, base systems and water-based coatings that have achieved a C2C Certified Material Health Certificate™ at Bronze level.
This gives printers, converters and brand owners greater insight into the materials used in their printed packaging while supporting their wider sustainability objectives.
A C2C Certified Material Health Certificate™ assesses the chemical composition of a product against the Material Health requirements of the Cradle to Cradle Certified® Product Standard.
At Bronze level, the materials and chemicals used in the product have been inventoried, assessed against the programme’s Restricted Substances List and supported by a strategy for continued optimisation. This provides independent, third-party verification and a recognised framework for improving material health.
