Natural Indigo Finland, in partnership with Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK), has developed a water-based ink using biocolorant extracted from coffee waste supplied by Finnish coffee roastery and spice producer Meira Oy. The resulting ink offers a renewable, natural alternative to synthetic pigments traditionally used in packaging printing.<\/p>\n<p>The project has progressed from laboratory research to industrial proof-of-concept, with Cabassi Oy successfully printing the ink on the Paptic\u00ae material, which is a durable, recyclable at scale, fibre-based solution designed to replace plastic. The result: a high-quality, sustainably printed paper bag colored with pigment sourced from coffee waste. This proof-of-concept is the result of 12 months of collaborative research and development, responding to the rising demand for eco-friendly alternatives in packaging and print. As regulations tighten and the shift away from fossil-based resources accelerates, this innovation provides a scalable, low-impact color solution suitable for a wide range of applications.<\/p>\n<p>The partners are now seeking to expand the collaboration and invite additional industry players to help scale the innovation globally and speed up the transition to bio-based coloring solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tuni.fi\/en\/news\/coffee-waste-turned-ink-finnish-collaboration-pioneers-sustainable-packaging-innovation\">Tampere University<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-716\/\">Coffee waste turned into ink: Finnish collaboration pioneers sustainable packaging innovation<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[14630,575,12986,11410,655],"class_list":["post-140170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-coffee-waste","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ink","tag-sustainable-packaging","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140170\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
