Bobst Bielefeld To Host CI Flexo Open House Bobst Bielefeld has opened registrations for its Open House 2023 event, set to take place on October 26. The event will feature a full day of demonstrations and discussions at the Bobst Train- ing Center and the Competence Center in Bielefeld, Germany. With a focus on pushing the boundar- ies of packaging, sustainability, and innovation, this event will showcase key technological break- throughs in CI flexo printing. Connected by a theme of “Unwrap the future of flexible packaging”, the event will showcase the Bobst VISION CI flexo press and its capability to run jobs with paper and the Bobst oneBARRIER high barrier monopolymer substrate. Bobst is poised to significantly reduce waste by curbing energy consumption and minimizing ma- terial outputs. Through collaboration with strategic partners, Bobst Bielefeld is addressing the surging market demand for paper and fiber-based packag- ing, and the rising preference for water-based inks in CI flexo printing. The event will include two demonstrations on the VISION CI. Registration for the Bobst Bielefeld Open House event is now open at: https://go.bobst.com/Open- HouseBielefeld23 . MacDermid Graphics Solutions, Atlanta, Georgia, has developed a new process to recycle flexographic printing plates. The patent-pending technology will start trials in North America by the end of the year. “More than 20 million pounds of flexographic plates end up landfilled or used in waste-to-energy processes every year in the United States alone, said Ryan Vest, Director of Innovation at MacDermid. “This compelled us to develop our own technolo- gy to expedite a renewable and sustainable way to eliminate this waste by focusing on total reuse.” MacDermid has partnered with Sustainable Solu- tionz to manage the process of waste removal and recycling. Sustainable Solutionz will bring this pro- cess to market. “Our industry identified a responsibility to repur- pose flexographic plates and corrugated carriers that occupy landfills,” said Gerry Mounsey, Co-Founder of Sustainable Solutionz. “We are pleased to intro- duce meaningful technology to reduce the packag- ing industry’s carbon footprint.” MacDermid Partners Sustainable Solutionz
