In our August 2024 global drop, we’re featuring packaging and labelling printed with Algae Ink™. This innovative, renewable ink comes from repurposed algae biomass and other agricultural waste sources.
Our partner Living Ink Technologies transforms this biomass into a carbon-negative black pigment that offers a sustainable alternative to traditional inks, effectively reducing our reliance on non-renewable resources.
Algae Ink™ stands out for several reasons:
- Vibrant Black Colour: This delivers a rich and high-performance black colour, which makes it ideal for labelling and packaging applications.
- Vegetable-Based Composition: Contains 40-55% vegetable content, which is significantly more than the 30% thats typically found in soybean inks. This high vegetable content diminishes our dependence on fossil fuels.
- Renewable Source: This ink uses repurposed algae biomass as a renewable source by reusing materials that would otherwise go unused. It helps in reducing waste as well as supporting a circular economy.
- Carbon-Negative Footprint: The algae used in the ink captures more carbon during its growth than is emitted during production, making Algae Ink™ a carbon-negative option.
By incorporating Algae Ink™ into our product line, we are highly committed to driving responsible solutions and reducing our environmental footprint. Join us in making eco-conscious choices through smarter material use and embracing the future of sustainable packaging.
