Flint Group to Present Webinar on Designing Sustainable Inks & Coatings August 26

Flint Group Packaging Inks will present its views on the importance of designing inks and coatings for a circular economy at an upcoming FTA webinar Aug. 26—jointly hosted by FTA and Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP).

Titled I’m Not Trash: Designing Inks & Coatings for a Sustainable Future, Sustainability Product Manager Natalie Jardell and Director of Product Management and Development Gayle Wirthwine, both who work within Flint Group Packaging Inks North America, will talk to the role of inks and packaging as it pertains to both the planet and its people.

Jardell said, “Packaging sustainability has become an increasingly important issue in recent years and consumers are concerned about its role in waste and pollution. Today, they, along with governments, NGOs and the industry in general, are seeking ways to achieve a more circular economy. As a result, brands and their supply chains are investing in new and innovative ways to meet the needs of society and the environment, today and into the future. We can think about this in terms of transforming what is often perceived as trash into the goods of tomorrow!”

Gayle Wirthwine added: “At Flint Group Packaging Inks, we have a sustainability vision that commits us to support packaging markets with responsibly built products and sustainable solutions designed for circular economies. This webinar is a fantastic opportunity for us to share our findings in developing new process and product solutions that meet the principles of the United Nations Global Compact and its sustainable development goals.
