MORCHEM INDIA – IFCA STAR AWARDS FOR MORCHEM PL 8270 A / CF 700
MORCHEM Adhesive PL 8270 A / CF 700 for Soft and Flexible Laminates has won the IFCA Star Awards 2023.
The India Flexible Packaging and Folding Carton Manufacturers Association (IFCA) has been addressing the needs of the Packaging Industry in India for 2 decades now.
IFCA Star Awards provides a platform to showcase innovative and cost effective solutions and the judges were highly appreciative of Morchem’s adhesive for specialised applications such as bulk pack used by many convertors.
RECYCLASS RECYCLABILITY APPROVAL FOR MORCHEM PL 2727 AR + CF-740 R LAMINATING ADHESIVE
We are glad to announce that our innovative adhesive Morchem PL 2727 AR + CF-740 R laminating adhesive has earned the RecyClass Recyclability Approval.
Following independent standardised testing, Morchem PL 2727 AR + CF-740 R is fully compatible when used up to 4 wt% of the PE film. This compatibility aligns seamlessly with the cutting-edge recycling processes for natural flexible PE in Europe.
Our trials, conducted in strict accordance with the Recyclability Evaluation Protocol for PE films, yielded impeccable results. There were no compromises in the quality of recyclable material during the processing of PE films.
This achievement marks a significant stride forward in our unwavering commitment to making meaningful contributions to sustainable packaging solutions.
MORCHEM – SECOND PHASE OF PHOTOVOLTAIC PROJECT COMPLETED
In line with MORCHEM’s sustainability strategy, 28% of our power consumption is now self generated through our second photovoltaic panel expansion thus contributing to reduce our environmental carbon footprint.
MORCHEM thus continues to reaffirm its commitment to the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals.
PRESS RELEASE
Morchem North American President to Present Latest Advances in Laminating Adhesives at PACK EXPO
Adhesive Innovations Improve Packaging Recyclability, Performance And Manufacturing Efficiency
Pleasant Prairie, WI – August 22, 2023 – MORCHEM, an innovative manufacturer of adhesives and coatings committed to the circular plastics economy, will present technologies at PACK EXPO Las Vegas which the company has developed to reduce material and energy usage in the laminating process. Morchem President Michael Reed will lead the educational session, titled “Laminate With Less,” on Tuesday, September 12, at 12 p.m. at the Processing Innovation Stage.
In this presentation, Morchem will highlight adhesive innovations that improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions and minimize post-production waste in flexible packaging. As a specialist in both solvent-free and solvent-based laminating adhesives, as well as functional coatings and ink binders, Morchem will demonstrate how new, higher performance adhesives and barrier coatings can reduce scrap during the production process and enhance monomaterial films to improve the recyclability of flexible packaging.
“The industry needs new, forward-thinking solutions to reduce the environmental impact of consumer packaging,” said Cristina Ventayol, Morchem Chief Commercial Officer. “We have been working on some very exciting adhesive and coating innovations for high performance laminates, and we can’t wait to share our results with our colleagues in the U.S. at PACK EXPO.”
Achieving greater recyclability in flexible packaging has been a major hurdle for the packaging industry’s sustainability goals, in large part because of multimaterial structures that are too challenging for current recycling processes. Attendees of the presentation will learn how Morchem’s new barrier technologies improve the functionality and technical performance of monomaterial laminates to provide a clear path forward for fully recyclable packaging.
PACK EXPO visitors can also go to booth SU-7374 in the South Upper Hall to learn from Morchem experts how to save energy with fast-curing adhesives, reduce emissions with high-application solid content solutions and improve process efficiency with laminating solutions that eliminate bubble formation and visual defects.
“With the latest advancements in adhesive solutions and the monomaterial structures they support, the flexible packaging industry can set their sights on much improved recyclability,” Reed said. “But the key to achieving this quickly is collaboration along the value chain. We need to coordinate our development efforts to realize the full potential of adhesive innovation and monomaterial films that create fully recyclable structures with the high performance required of today’s packaging.”
Morchem’s educational session “Laminate With Less: Adhesives for Material & Energy Reduction” will be held at PACK EXPO on Tuesday, September 12 at 12 p.m. at the Processing Innovation Stage (N-10511) of the Las Vegas Convention Center. To learn more, visit Morchem at PACK EXPO at booth SU-7374 in the South Upper Hall, or visit www.packexpo.morchem.com.
