Environmentally Friendly Packaging
ackaging and printing inks are current concerns for the environmentallabelling scheme, Environmental Choice. The Government-initi-ated body draws up specifications for environmentally sensitive products, to encourage their production and widen consumer choice. In the packaging field, Environmental Choice labels have been recently awarded to
Premium Packaging Ltd of Tamaki for two ranges of ‘ther-mo-fibre’ egg cartons made from 100-percent recycled paper. At the same time, Environmental Choice has issued an evironmentallabelling specification for printing inks. Manufacturers have thereby been challenged to produce inks and processes which ‘go easier on the earth. — Source: Melissa Arseneault.
