International. Sun Chemical released its 2016 Corporate Sustainability Report, which focuses on how its research and development efforts have led to new products and services that help customers improve their eco-efficiency goals.
Sun Chemical highlighted four newly developed products in its most recent report that can offer customers significant eco-efficiency benefits. Two examples, SunBar oxygen barrier coatings and SunFuse (PolarSeal) reusable cold sealing adhesives, help reduce food waste. SunLam Deseamable technology improves the ability of recyclers to remove labels from the shrink sleeve and ensure recycling of plastic bottles. SunSpectro flexographic inks (Aquathene) allow packaging to meet international compostability standards.
"Sun Chemical's investment in developing products that have a global positive impact on the environment is critically important to our customers," said Gary Andrzejewski, Sun Chemical's Corporate Vice President of Environmental Affairs. "Our customers want to see key metrics and environmental indicators that demonstrate that Sun Chemical is doing its part. Our sustainability report does just that and pushes us as a company to improve eco-efficiency in both our products and our processes."
As in previous sustainability reports, Sun Chemical's most recent report provides sustainability indicators based on data from its production and non-production facilities to understand and manage environmental impact through monitoring: energy consumption and conservation, energy carbon footprint, process waste reduction, water consumption, safety and employee safety.
"Our commitment to sustainability drives us to provide our customers with meaningful data they can use," said Michael Simoni, global leader in product management, Sun Chemical. "Improving our manufacturing processes, from production to distribution, helps Sun Chemical maintain its reputation for quality, service and innovation, while improving sustainability practices for our customers. It is a critical component of our sustainability policy."
