Xeikon launches eco-toner on the market

The development of Eco Toner is an important step towards achieving Xeikon's sustainability goals. The company is striving for a Reduction of the CO₂-footprint by 40 per cent in the coming years.

Dry toner technology is already one of the most food-safe solutions on the market, but new legislation and brand owner expectations are driving demand for more sustainable solutions. The new eco-toners therefore contain up to 60 per cent sustainable components, which are chemically extracted from transparent, recycled PET bottles and other recycled carbon materials. Eco toners can be decolourised from both paper (Ingede reference) and film (CADEL reference).

The toners are fluorine-free (both inorganic and PFAS) and 100 per cent vegan. In addition, there are the advantages of the previous toner generation, which is free from BPA, mineral oil and photoinitiators. This means that Eco toners are suitable for use with indirect food contact with only one paper barrier and Suitable for direct food contact with dry foods according to FDA are.
