Moving Beyond Nitrocellulose: Rethinking Ink Formulations for Flexible Packaging

The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), applicable from 12 August 2026, among other things, formalises recyclability requirements and establishes a framework that is increasingly driving demand for NC-free ink solutions.

Designed for flexible packaging printers preparing their operations for the future, the white paper explores:

• The role of NC in flexible packaging inks
• The regulatory landscape, recyclability challenges associated with NC-based inks, and key market drivers
• NC-free chemistries and solutions, their performance, and their implications for commercial production
