Rick Michelman to Discuss Michelman’s Sustainable Packaging Solutions at Speciality Films and Flex Pack Global Summit

Dr. Michelman, President & CEO of Michelman, will conduct a presentation at the Summit entitled The Role of Coatings in Achieving Sustainable Packaging Design.

CINCINNATI, OH, UNITED STATES, September 26, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Michelman will demonstrate its leadership position in the development of sustainable packaging solutions at the 11th Speciality Films and Flexible Packaging Global Summit. The company’s water-based coatings impart critical functionality such as water, oil, and grease resistance, oxygen and moisture vapor transmission control, heat seal, and print receptivity directly to paper and film substrates. This enables the creation of packaging structures that can be recyclable, compostable, and lighter weight, helping brands transition packaging from film to paper or move to recyclable mono-material film structures while continuing to meet demanding performance, regulatory, and food contact requirements.

Dr. Rick Michelman, President & CEO of Michelman, will conduct a presentation at the Summit entitled The Role of Coatings in Achieving Sustainable Packaging Design. Dr. Michelman commented, “The packaging industry is in a period of rapid change caused by evolving megatrends and a heightened focus on sustainability. Legislation, brand commitments, and consumer sentiment are driving the transition to more sustainable packaging. Every market segment is impacted–but each industry looks at sustainability from a different angle, and each segment has unique material challenges and performance needs. Water-based coatings can enhance the performance of many materials to meet challenging application requirements.” In his presentation, Dr. Michelman will delve into topics including multiple paths taken to produce recyclable packaging, compostable end-of-life requirements, alternative packaging solutions enabled by the next generation of bio-based coatings, and how collaboration can accelerate the pace of innovation and allow companies to quickly pivot to meet new market needs.

Also highlighted will be the Michelman Innovation Centre for Coatings (MICC), located at Michelman’s Mumbai offices. The MICC is a sustainable packaging incubator strategically designed to serve the needs of India and its surrounding markets, allowing for fast, efficient development of sustainable packaging solutions.
