This is how a next generation solution like Innova Plus NCF benefits those looking to improve their circular packaging goals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cStates like California, Colorado, Maine, and Oregon have already passed Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). It\u2019s only a matter of time before others follow,\u201d explained Schouten.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSimilar EPR efforts are taking place on a global level, such as Europe\u2019s new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, and these regulations are becoming more strict.Now is the time to act to get ahead of the regulatory measures. Innova Plus NCF gives you the power to do so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cInnova Plus NCF inks deliver exceptional performance benefits,\u201d she continued. \u201cThis includes superior print quality, excellent adhesion, and reliable consistency across various substrates and packaging formats.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Engineered specifically for adhesive lamination, these inks provide robust bond strength and stability while maintaining clarity and vibrancy even under demanding production conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With fast-drying capabilities and resistance to common solvents and chemicals, Innova Plus NCF ensures efficient and trouble-free printing operations to help converters achieve outstanding results while meeting sustainability objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INX International\u00a0has added a valuable new universal lamination system to its sustainable inks portfolio.
