50 Ink Formulations Basics Water Petroleum or Plant Based Resin Filler Color Mined or Organic

51 Ink Formulations Basics Water Resin Filler Color Resin Solids 10-30% of a water ink Resin Solids Major part that can use renewable materials!

52 Plant (tree rosin) Based Resins Chips Sodium Hydroxide Sodium Sulfide Sulfuric Acid Water Digester Filter Reactor Wood Pulp Pitch Rosin To Resin Processing Distilled Tall oil

53 Plant (tree rosin) Based Resins Extract Crude Gum Wash Often Imported Reactor Turpentine Gum Rosin

54 Harvest Soy Bean Crop Plant (Soy) Based Resins Clean Crack De-Hull Often Exported Roll/Press Soy Oil Soy Flakes Soy Meal Process Refine Soy Protein

55 Carbon Footprint Acrylic Resins Tree Resins Soy Resins Water Resin Filler Color

57 Ink Dispenser Advantages Reduce over ordering of ink Reduce Obsolete inks Reduce inventory costs

58 Ink Dispenser Advantages Right ink for job Make only what is required Adjust to changing parameters Convert press returns to new ink

59 Implications for Corrugated Manufacturers Additional Details

60 Sustainable Packaging? Glass Plastic Paperboard

61 Your Challenge If you sell sustainable solutions What will you say when they ask What is the status of your sustainable initiatives in your plant?

62 Your Challenge New Materials, and New Ways Of Applying Old Materials Should Be Investigated. New Innovations; Operating Systems, Machinery, Methodologies Alternative Energy Sources Should Be Investigated

63 Your Challenge Interview And Encourage Input From Employees Throughout All Levels Of Your Organization For Unique Views. Vendors, Industry Associations Like The AICC, FBA, TAPPI, And Others Can Provide Valuable Resources To Their Members

64 Comprehensive Approach is Needed for Productivity Improvements Global cooperation is the key Box makers Equipment makers Materials manufacturers Universities Consortia Industry labs Industry organizations Governments
