Last week Fictiv participated in the largest plastics show in North America - NPE. Hosting 55,000 attendees in Orlando, it covered everything from materials, machines, Injection Molding suppliers, 3D Printing players, you name it. Definitely present in big numbers were global supply chain managers looking for the right mix of suppliers especially with additional tariffs looming on the EV front; sustainability managers looking at how to ensure materials are advancing and looking for recyclable or biodegradable advancements, molders looking for the best tooling partners, you name it. The full spectrum of the ecosystem was there and the show was big. Chinese manufacturers were there in full force, some from Mexico and even a few from Pune, India where there’s a sizeable pocket of Injection Molders. Who wasn’t there was US manufacturers. I thought to myself, either they’re too busy and can’t come to the shows or we still haven’t made a dent with things like the IRA bill. The introduction of the IRA (Invest in America) Bill is seen as a step towards reviving the manufacturing sector and encouraging companies to produce goods domestically. This blog aims to explore the significance of the IRA Bill and its potential to shape the future of American manufacturing… To read more here… https://lnkd.in/dxNpDsFB #injectionmolding #3Dprinting #plastic #polymer #sustainability #prototyping #NPI #NPD #massproduction

The paper industry is facing a challenging landscape characterized by low volumes and significant changes on the horizon. With paper mills closing or merging for survival and printing houses shutting down, the industry is bracing itself for a period of transformation. In Europe, demand for certain grades is showing slight improvements, while in Asia, challenges persist due to increased container prices. Despite these obstacles, there are signs of hope, particularly in the rising demand for higher-quality paper grades. As the industry navigates these turbulent times, adaptation and efficiency will be key to survival. Read more in IMpress: https://lnkd.in/e55Hthvy

📢 BIS Bans Toluene in Food Packaging Printing 🍫 🚫 In a landmark decision, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has restricted the use of toluene, titanium acetylacetonate, and phthalates in printing materials for food packaging. Toluene, widely used in India but banned in developed nations due to health risks, poses dangers to liver and kidney health. 💼 Industry leaders like Siegwerk India's CEO, Ashish Pradhan, commend the move as a significant step towards safer packaging practices, with 80% of inks currently toluene-based. ✅ Nestlé India and Hindustan Unilever Ltd. affirm their commitment to compliance with the new regulations, ensuring toluene-free packaging materials for consumer safety. 💡 Transitioning to toluene-free inks is feasible without major capital investments, as demonstrated by Siegwerk India's proactive measures. This shift reflects a broader industry trend towards sustainable and responsible packaging solutions. 🌱 This move underscores the industry's dedication to sustainability and consumer well-being, prioritizing health and safety while meeting regulatory standards. Stay tuned for further updates as the packaging industry continues its journey towards safer, more sustainable practices. 🤝🏻 Follow GANESH ADHAV for Food Technological Insights and News. #bis #toluene #foodpackaging #consumersafety #sustainablepackaging #healthandsafety #regulatorycompliance #foodandbeverageindustry

What is fair printing? 🤔 Fair printing involves the search for alternatives that are not only fair and equitable, but also honest and responsible in their approach or implementation. This is not just an aspiration for us, but a commitment we have already made and are actively pursuing via various points: - Fairer and more sustainable printing alternatives. - Fair relationships and trade are promoted through responsible supplier relationships. - Fair alternative options for customers so that they do not have to make sacrifices between value, cost and quality. - Fair player that respects European regulations and intellectual property rights. While printing may be seen as an activity to be avoided, we believe that businesses will always need it. So it's time to consume intelligently by adopting fair printing products!

A sad reality that #paper manufacturers are shifting mill production away from #printing stocks to #packaging grades, impacting pricing and availability :( #printnews #printindustrynews #paperindustry

The News/Media Alliance and a coalition of news media, printing, graphic communications, and related groups urged the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) to reject new proposed tariffs on aluminum printing plates.    The proposed tariffs would raise costs for printers and the businesses they serve, decrease competition in the printing plate market, and jeopardize the availability of high-quality printed materials for businesses and consumers. The ITC must prevent this from happening.   Read our joint letter here: https://lnkd.in/eU76FYiD
