Sun Chemical Receives Platinum & Bronze Certifications from ‘The Cradle-to-Cradle’ Products Innovation Institute
05 December 2023: Sun Chemical has announced that its cutting-edge ink products have achieved the prestigious Platinum and Bronze certifications from esteemed Cradle-to-Cradle Products Innovation Institute.
Cradle-to-Cradle Products Innovation Institute sets a global standard for products that are safe, circular and responsibly made. To earn Cradle to Cradle Certified certification, products, materials, and systems need to meet requirements set by Cradle-to-Cradle Certified Product Standard and undergo an independent third-party assessment of their safety, circularity and responsibility criteria across five categories of sustainability performance: Material Health, Product Circularity, Clean Air & Climate Protection, Water & Soil Stewardship; Social Fairness. The product is then assigned an achievement level for each category (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum).
SunLit Intense Platinum process inks have achieved a C2C Certified Material Health Certificate™ at the Platinum level. SunLit Intense Platinum is a premium, intense ink series that provides excellent ink mileage, runs trouble free on high speed straight and perfecting presses and also features low tack properties that prove valuable when printing on low grammage papers and challenging board materials.
