Preparation of Eco-friendly Inks for Primary & Secondary Packaging

Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In this period of the 21st century we can see synthetic pigments everywhere. The primary reason for the widespread use of such synthetic chemicals is that they are cheaper than natively generated substances. The goal of this work is to create ink using an eco-friendly pigment produced from Indian- Almond leaves. In general, the prints over the FMCG packages are to communicate the people about the product inside the packages without. The organic pigments have been extracted from the Indian-Almond leaves at various stages of maturation using an aqueous extraction method. Furthermore, the pigments are combined with solvents, binders, and printing paste to apply the ink to the substrate’s surface. These are non-toxic and commonly utilized in FMCG Packages. This allows us to boost the use of eco-friendly inks in FMCG packaging instead of synthetic chemicals-based inks.
