Staying often at the center of every green-packaging movement, paper packaging has really evolved into a larger variety of forms, as a result of countless attempts to achieve higher biodegradability and recyclability.
Aside from their core material, paper, which is inherently plant-based, other eco-friendly materials and supplies are also gradually being preferred in any R&D process, simply to obtain the “greenest” end packaging ever. In the printing industry, for instance, water-based options are gradually developed for chemical supplies and continuously get improved with more advanced features and functions added.

Let’s meet Aqua Cup and Aqua Bright, two representative series for water-based inks from Toyo Ink, specifically developed for surface printing on paper.
