Green Printing and Plastic: No Longer Strange Bedfellows

Pace BIOGRAPH.ics is made from an extruded agri-based plastic resin for greater impact strength, heat and humidity resistance, and compostability. The substrate is said to be highly ink receptive. Pace reports success with printing, diecutting, foiling, press polishing, embossing, heat bending and thermoforming applications. Pace ABSOLVE, available in degradable sheets and rolls, is engineered to look and process like standard polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene. It is also recyclable.
