Avery Dennison introduces three new papers made from
100 percent recycled fibers to expand its range of labels
Avery Dennison is expanding its sustainable
label portfolio with the launch
of three papers made with 100% recycled
fibers. These white, uncoated
wood-free papers offer a similar look,
feel, and performance as conventional
alternatives and all feature wet
strength treatment.
These new papers are especially suited
for wine, spirits, craft beer, premium
food and beverage, and cosmetics.
• rNaturel Touch Craft – Thick paper with a cotton-like
texture for a craft, traditional look.
• rNoble Blanc – Matt paper with a felt marked finish that’s
excellent for high volume printing.
• rSable Blanc – Smooth, matt paper that’s
excellent for high volume printing.
Combining the new recycled fiber papers
with other sustainable solutions from
Avery Dennison can further improve a
product’s eco-credentials. Semi-gloss rMC
paper is an efficient option for back labels
and is made from 100% recycled fibers. Labels
that require a strong ice bucket performance
can use rPLUS underlaminate,
made with 70% post-consumer recyclate, to make complex
construction as sustainable as possible.

First Krones solution for ozonizing water
developed in-house
Krones celebrates World Water Day with a new addition to
its portfolio, the Krones Ozonomic ozonizer.
Ozone is known as one of the strongest oxidizing agents
available. Producers of packaged water also like to take advantage
of its effect and operating principle because ozone
dissolved in water reliably removes bacteria and viruses and
then swiftly decomposes without leaving any residues. That
is precisely the reason why an ozonizer ideally supplements
the kit of all those who use a conventional filling process for
their still water and want to be on the safe side with product
quality. Now, Krones has expanded its portfolio of waterpackaging
equipment to include just this area of expertise,
introducing an ozoniser developed in-house.
Microbiological stabilisation prior to filling guaranteed
The ozone generator integrated in the Krones Ozonomic
works on the principle of dielectric-barrier discharge: It
breaks down oxygen and forms ozone molecules which are
added to the drinking water before filling it.
In order to convert oxygen into ozone, the ozone generator
works exclusively on the basis of compressed air, so no separate
oxygen supply is required. The downstream stainless
steel injection system is operated at a pressure of two to
three bar, which makes for efficient ozonization performance,
even with high water temperatures or pH values. The
typical amount of ozone added to still water is 0.4 mg per
liter of product.
Double disinfecting power
The name alone denotes its close connections within the
Krones portfolio: the Ozonomic and the water treatment systems
from the Hydronomic family constitute a can-do team
when it comes to meeting the most stringent of requirements
for water quality. After the water has been treated in various
modules of the Hydronomic series, it is passed through the
Ozonomic, which guarantees its microbiological stability, so
that a conventional process can then be used for packaging
it without any impairment of quality and product safety.
Ozonization even achieves disinfection twice over here: Not
only does the ozone sterilize the water itself, at the same time
it also disinfects all container and closure parts coming into
contact with the product.
