The company announced a major initiative aimed at boosting recycling efforts, partnering with key organizations to promote environmental sustainability.
AkzoNobel introduced Accelshield™ 300, a high-performance can coating free of bisphenols, styrene, PFAS, and formaldehyde, approved by FDA and EU regulators.
The design entry from Jackie O’s Brewery has won the fifth annual Colored by INX Can Design Contest, which required designers to produce a commercial can design using at least one color from the INX Color Catalog.
Participants in the can coating market must leverage innovation, embrace sustainability, and foster collaboration to capitalize on emerging opportunities and surmount challenges. Advanced coating technologies have emerged as pivotal drivers of innovation within the sector, re-shaping packaging requirements and standards.
The questionable future of BPA and bisphenols in food contact materials has driven the development of new coating technologies. AkzoNobel believes that metal can packaging has advanced to the point where bisphenols of any kind are no longer required to create safe coatings, and is working with the industry to shape change.
The company’s approach to the bisphenol transition of metal cans prioritizes consumer safety and sustainability with responsible material substitutions, while taking care to limit disruption to the value chain.
