Sun Chemical highlighted its products that are helping the planet in its recently-released 2016 Corporate Sustainability Report.

The company, whose headquarters is in New Jersey, mentioned the contribution of four recently developed products.

SunBar oxygen barrier coatings and SunFuse (PolarSeal) re-closable cold-seal adhesives help reduce food waste, SunLam Deseamable Technology improves the ability of recyclers to remove shrink sleeve labels and ensure plastic bottle recycling and SunSpectro (Aquathene) water-based flexographic inks allow packaging to comply with international compostability standards.

“Improving our manufacturing processes from production to distribution helps Sun Chemical uphold its reputation for quality, service and innovation while improving sustainability practices for our customers. It is a critical component of our sustainability policy.”
