Overprint varnishes with the plus in sustainability
ACTGreen® Sustainable Coatings is a sustainable portfolio of overprint varnishes for the use on folding cartons, publications and commercial prints. This includes both products based on recycled raw materials of fossil origin and bio-based materials as well as coatings based on renewable resources in the form of vegetable resins. All products are well established in the market or a further development of existing, mature products with the same positive technical properties. This makes ACTGreen® a reliable partner for the printing industry.
Barrier coating solutions and sustainability
In packaging, barriers are often realized by multiple layer substrates. However, these products generate waste and high recycling costs. Water-based barrier coating solutions offer a more environmentally friendly alternative. ACTGreen® Barrier Coatings include both water-based barrier coatings and water-based TPE dispersions (YUNICO®), which can be used in the packaging, printing or paper industry.
With ACTGreen® we have taken another important step towards sustainability and more environmental protection in our industries.

Products dedicated to sustainability
Why ACTGreen®?
he use of natural and limited resources is increasing worldwide. There is a growing competition for diminishing raw materials. Resource- and emission-intensive industrial nations are a challenge to be mentioned here, as well as the rapid progress of developing countries. In addition, there are global environmental problems, such as climate change or increasing amounts of waste. The idea of sustainability is becoming ever more important.
Environmental sustainability is no longer a niche issue. Only those who know their own responsibility can sustainably improve their company’s image and realize a competitive advantage.
The objective is to create new sustainable product solutions or product solutions that contribute to more environmental protection. Act Green!
