sustainable printing colors for food packaging

[Kristiane Wagner]

For a best-practice case study I am searching for “green” UV printing colors that meet (to the greatest extent possible) cradle to cradle criteria. They should have a proven “green” eco-toxicological profile, be free of toxic heavy metals and organic halogen.

Application: printing of PP cup for joghurt and printing of aluminium lid.

Does anyone could give me advice where to start looking? Or investigates in the same direction? Or even has to offer a solution?

Thanks a lot!
