A gathering of major equipment and materials companies who are
leading development efforts for sustainable packaging for food and
consumer products will take place in conjunction with Earth Day
2009 celebrations, Wednesday, April 22. Hosting the daylong
converting demonstrations for North American packaging converters
and product marketers are specialty materials company Rohm and Haas
(NYSE:ROH) along with Nordmeccanica NA, leading manufacturer of
coating and laminating equipment and the world�s foremost
solventless equipment provider. Demonstrations will take place at
Nordmeccanica�s Long Island facility. According to Giancarlo
Caimmi, Nordmeccanica commercial director, �While sustainability
for packaging has been addressed recently in several meetings
worldwide, this will be the first time that a select group of
companies have come together to demonstrate products and
technologies to customers with actual production runs. The purpose
is to deliver not just product information but primarily production
solutions that are actionable today.� On hand and explaining the
latest and most advanced sustainable materials and their
suitability for varied packaging needs will be technical and
commercial specialists from Innovia, global provider of bio-based
NatureFlex� printing films; Rohm and Haas, supplier of advanced
adhesive solutions including Mor-Free� solventless adhesives for
laminating; and EarthFirst�, global producer of bio-polymer PLA
(polylactic acid) films. Also attending to answer performance
questions related to waterborne inks used in the demonstrations
will be printing ink specialists from Sun Chemical, Siegwerk, and
Environmental Inks and Coatings Corporation.
According to John Norder, Rohm and Haas director, packaging and
industrial adhesives in North America, customers of all host
companies will be receiving personal invitations to attend. Others
wishing to attend these demonstration trials should register
on-line at go.rohmhaas.com/sustainablepackaging. �New adhesives
advances from Rohm and Haas and dedicated film, ink and equipment
supplier efforts are producing truly sustainable packaging
solutions. We believe the best way to alert all interested parties
to progress in these developments is to bring together those
responsible for sustainable packaging initiatives within their
firms and expose them to live, production scale runs. That�s why
these periodic demonstrations are so important,� says Norder.
Nordmeccanica facilities are located on Long Island in Edgewood,
New York at 250H Executive Drive. Their phone number is
