    ACTEGA FoodSafe Coatings Earns Gold Level Material Health Certificate

    Awarded Gold level Material Health Certificate by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute.

    ACTEGA FoodSafe Coatings Earns Gold Level Material Health Certificate
    Anthony Locicero, Associate editor02.16.21
    All ingredients in the company’s FoodSafe range raw material matrix have now been assessed against the criteria of the Material Health category in the Cradle to Cradle Certified Product Standard and as a result, the entire FoodSafe series was awarded the Gold level Material Health Certificate by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, ACTEGA announced.
     
    This Gold level certification provides customers with further confidence in the safety of ACTEGA’s complete FoodSafe portfolio. 
     
    This additional assurance enables users to not only produce legally compliant food packaging but offer brands' packaging solutions that adhere to the highest material health requirements for coatings.
     
    The certification also allows ACTEGA to develop new products or adapt existing ones to customer requirements from the tested raw material matrix, without automatically losing the FoodSafe Gold status. 
     
    "Climate change, food shortages, plastic waste and species under threat of extinction are all negatively impacted by unsustainable packaging. The Cradle to Cradle design principle offers manufacturers a route to ensuring the products they supply are made from materials that are recyclable and environmentally friendly and, therefore, ‘healthy’. A valuable tool for optimizing the material health of products on the way to Cradle to Cradle is the Material Health Certification," said Dr. Hans-Michael Lenz, head of QC, Environment and Product Safety, ACTEGA. "Our FoodSafe range is water-based coatings for ‘direct food contact’ packaging and, as such, environmental responsibility and consumer safety have always been a priority. However, achieving this latest certification is a clear demonstration of our resolute drive to put consumer safety and product quality first."
     
    ACTEGA was awarded a Gold level Material Health Certificate for more than 100 FoodSafe overprint varnishes several months before this latest accomplishment. 
     
    "That was an important first step for ACTEGA but only the start of our journey," Lenz said. "[S]ecuring a Gold level certification for the entire Foodsafe range is a landmark moment. We ultimately increase the benefits it provides our customers and further cement the part we play in supporting a more sustainable future for the packaging industry."
