Non-CMR and PFAS-Free Inks

Safe Inks, Secure Future

Gone Forever
We’re at the forefront of eliminating PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from food packaging. These “forever chemicals” pose health risks and don’t break down in the environment.

Being Prepared
Safety is a top priority at Kao Collins. Our approach to ink formulation is forward-focused, ensuring that potential risks are addressed long before they become mandatory compliance requirements.
