Avery Dennison enters strategic partnership with Organoid Technologies GmbH
Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions EMENA has formed a strategic partnership with Organoid Technologies GmbH, and will become the sole distributor of Organoid self-adhesive natural surfaces to the Graphics Industry in Europe, Middle East and North Africa (EMENA). It means that the 100%-natural face materials will be available to the Avery Dennison distribution network from November 2021.
Industry regulations, company environmental policies, and consumer demands all contribute to the rising need of sustainable label and packaging solutions. Avery Dennison offers a portfolio of papers, films, and liners made from recycled content that can help businesses reach their sustainability targets.
In a market first, RecyClass has approved products from Avery Dennison’s film portfolio for complying with HDPE recycling guidelines. Label producers and brand owners across the home and personal care and food sectors will benefit from this accomplishment, which can help them increase recycling rates.
In a clinical study that lasted several months, the effectiveness of antimicrobial treated surfaces against hospital pathogens was examined under real-life conditions at the University Hospital Basel in Switzerland. The research team, headed by Prof. Dr. Andreas Widmer and Dr. R. Frei, confirmed that the Sanitized® treated adhesive film developed jointly with Hexis S.A.S. has 98 % effectiveness against microbes. The results were first published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal “Antimicrobial Resistance & Infection Control”. The study was supported by Innosuisse, the Swiss Innovation Agency.
In Scandinavia, demand for labels that enable PET recycling is growing and new regulations are prioritizing this type of packaging over glass. However, labeling technology for PET beverage bottles must follow guidelines established by the bottle deposit systems Returpack in Sweden and Infinitum in Norway.
