AQUAPAK Sets University Challenge To Help Solve The Problem Of Recyling Complex Polymer Packaging

BIRMINGHAM, England — October 16, 2023 — Aquapak Polymers Ltd., which specializes in polymer-based material technologies that can deliver both performance and environmental responsibility at scale, has today announced its Newcastle University Chemistry Undergraduate award-winning Stage 3 Industry Challenge, which sets students the task of identifying new ways of recycling complex polymer packaging structures. The students then have around eight weeks to investigate possible solutions that will also contribute in a positive way to the continued development of a circular economy.

This is a problem that the plastics and polymer industry and packaging developers have been trying to tackle in response to pressing consumer demand, NGO backlash over plastic use and the increasing weight of EU and government legislation such as the packaging tax and PPWR.

The industry is responding to try and find ways to recycle these complex multi-layer polymer constructions typically found in packaging without compromising much needed functionality such as extended sHelf-life, convenience, easy peel and lightweight. Today’s packaging structures are often made up of different polymers defined by the functionality required, which is what makes them difficult to sort, separate and recycle. Students need to identify economically viable and scalable technologies and solutions which are already available or can be developed to enable the true recycling of these materials.

For example, Aquapak has successfully developed and commercialized Hydropol™, a highly functional, specialty environmental polymer that allows product design to support the circular economy by enabling recycling and delivering multiple end-of-life options. It is designed to be an alternative to traditional plastics, offering their versatility and functionality but without harming the environment.

Developed and manufactured in the UK, Hydropol is soluble, non-toxic and marine safe. Products made with Hydropol are safe for existing recycling processes and are fully biodegradable, leaving no trace or harmful plastic pollution should they enter the environment.

As an enabling technology, Hydropol can be used on its own or in combination with other materials to enhance recyclability, compostability and end-of-life options. Its material properties allow for scalability into diverse types of products and its solubility makes it easy to separate from other materials when recycling. For example, it can be extrusion coated onto paper or board giving strength and barrier properties against oxygen, oil and grease then made into a multitude of different applications.

To dispose, consumers can simply put the packaging into their household paper waste. The Hydropol layer is formulated to “wash off” or dissolve during the paper repulping process and then either biodegrades in the wastewater system or is turned into clean energy if the plant has an AD system.

Mark Lapping, CEO of Aquapak, said: “We have several active research projects in place with a number of universities to support the development of new materials like Hydropol. As a former student of Newcastle University myself it is fantastic to be able to reconnect with a new generation of Chemistry students and support their learning with a highly relevant challenge that the industry is grappling with right now. I’m confident their insights and fresh thinking will contribute to moving this important topic forward at Aquapak, as well as inspire more people to join the new plastics industry in future.”

Joshua Ellis Welcomes Six-Figure Investment Into New Machinery

BATLEY, England — October 16, 2023 — Yorkshire-based textile manufacturer, Joshua Ellis, has taken a significant leap forward in its pursuit of growth, with a substantial investment of £130,000 into a cutting-edge Picanol jacquard loom.

The state-of-the-art jacquard loom, installed last month, expands Joshua Ellis’s design capabilities with an increased capacity of 76 threads per inch, which weaves independently, allowing Joshua Ellis to create intricate designs and fulfill bespoke retail & wholesale orders.

This substantial upgrade in machinery also significantly improves efficiency and speed, enhancing production capacity and positions the company to adequately cater to the surging demand for traditionally woven textile products both domestically and on the international stage.

The company is still adjusting after the pandemic’s impact on the textile industry, but this strategic investment aligns with Joshua Ellis’s overarching plan for growth.  Oliver Platts, managing director at Joshua Ellis, said: “We are thrilled to introduce this advanced machinery into our production process. It not only upholds our reputation for excellence but also positions us for growth in an increasingly competitive market. Over the past couple of years, we have witnessed a surge in demand for bespoke jacquard work, and this investment ensures that we can keep up with the expectations of our premium customer base in terms of design and speed of production.”

In a nod to their rich history dating back to 1767, Joshua Ellis chose a symbolic tribute for the first weave on the new loom — an intricate image of their founder, Joshua Ellis himself.

Penny Lovatt, senior designer at Joshua Ellis, said: “Investing in this new loom is an extraordinary decision for the company. As a designer, the new loom opens up a world of creative possibilities, allowing me to experiment with designs that were previously unattainable on our older Dobby looms. It was particularly gratifying to breathe life into the image of Joshua Ellis, our founding visionary, as a fitting tribute.”

Joshua Ellis, under its parent company SIL Group, continues to invest in the future of Yorkshire’s textile industry ensuring its 21st-century relevance by meeting the demands of global retail and wholesale clients.

REFORMER Pilates Sportswear: Pioneering Effortless Luxury, Crafted Domestically With Seamless Knitting And Recycled Yarn With Uncompromising Quality

LOS ANGELES — October 16, 2023 — In a rapidly growing market expected to reach $242.5 billion by 2027, women expect a lot out of their activewear: comfort, performance technology, fashion-forward, and most recently, environment and social sustainability. These days, it’s almost impossible to find a brand that checks every box, but that’s all about to change.

Introducing REFORMER Pilates, a luxury seamless sportswear brand handmade in Los Angeles that is bringing fashion to everyday athleticwear. Focusing on high-end fabrics that form and flatter, REFORMER combines effortless luxury, performance innovation, and quiet sustainability to create a first-of-its-kind sportswear brand that refuses to compromise on quality, value, or principle.

As the only U.S. brand that crafts its own pieces domestically using an innovative seamless knitting process and over 75-percent recycled yarn, REFORMER is ultra-comfortable and practically free of unwanted seams, sewing, and stitching. Sustainability is woven through every facet of the brand — from its seamless knitting technology that eliminates waste to its business model that is saving jobs in L.A. and preserving the seamless knitting industry as a whole.

But it’s important to note that REFORMER doesn’t consider itself a sustainable brand; it just happens to make the most sustainable sportswear in North America because it’s the right thing to do.

“I created REFORMER for a couple of reasons,” stated Fashion Industry Veteran and Founder of REFORMER, Ryan Fisher. “I wanted to create a brand with integrity that was truly and authentically made in Los Angeles using innovative seamless knitting technology to create the most luxurious sportswear garments on the market. REFORMER was also inspired by my wife’s need for a luxury activewear brand that had to check all of her boxes: comfort, performance, style, and sustainability. We’re the only brand using Repreve yarn spun in America and knitting our garments in America. We are proudly handmade in Los Angeles.”

Jeanologia Presents Its Revolutionary Washed By The Atmosphere Concept At Kingpins Amsterdam

VALENCIA, Spain — October 16, 2023 — Jeanologia, a Spanish company focused on the development of eco-efficient technologies, will propel the textile industry into the new era of air and greater efficiency at the next edition of Kingpins Amsterdam.

During the event, which will take place October 18-19 in SugarCity, Amsterdam, Jeanologia will show how its new technologies and processes make it possible to achieve an authentic product through a more productive, competitive and completely sustainable operational model, based on automation and digitizaliztion.

The water era is over; air is the future

For Jeanologia, air, digitalization and automation are the keys to a fully sustainable and efficient textile industry.

In recent years, the company has been leading the transformation of the industry with its disruptive technologies. As Carmen Silla, marketing director at Jeanologia, pointed out, “we’re fostering a new era for the textile industry in which air is the protagonist, thus replacing the traditional use of water, which enables authentic vintage looks while guaranteeing zero pollution.”

In this vein, Silla highlighted the importance of its innovative atmospheric washing process, Atmos, which allows the company to achieve a natural aging of garments, with a genuine vintage effect, without the use of water, pumice stones, or chemicals.

At Kingpins Amsterdam, Jeanologia will show off its breakthrough G2 ozone technology, which sets a new benchmark in the finishing processes of denim and knitwear, by allowing production centers to greatly reduce the use of water and chemicals, achieving a natural wear tone, more quickly and sustainably, and at a lower cost. A new milestone achieved thanks to Jeanologia’s G2 ozone technology and its patented INDRA system.

With the Atmos process, ozone is used under atmospheric conditions instead of water and chemicals. This allows for something totally innovative and revolutionary in the textile industry: dry-finishing jeans, resulting in a denim garment with an authentic vintage look and an impressive contrast between light and dark areas, without the need to use pumice stones and without potassium permanganate.

The innovative Atmos finishing process is also applied in color treatment, for example on sweatshirts and T-shirts. Atmos acts like a time machine, every 5 minutes in G2 is equivalent to approximately one year of use.

Designed to work with maximum efficiency, this revolutionary Eco washing solution based on ozone technology reduces water use by up to 96 percent, eliminates all toxic byproducts and reduces energy consumption by up to 25 percent.

Such consumption decreases not only translate into increased profitability for textile companies, but also into greater process sustainability.

The implementation of the Washed by the atmosphere ecosystem makes it possible to eliminate traditional polluting processes, such as potassium permanganate, pumice, other harmful substances and effluent discharges from the textile finishing industry.

Jeanologia: over 25 years working for the world

Since 1994, Jeanologia’s mission has been to create an ethical, sustainable and eco-efficient textile industry, marking a new era through sustainability, digitalization and automation.

The company leads the transformation of the industry with its disruptive technologies: laser, G2 ozone, e-Flow, SmartBoxes, Colorbox and H2 Zero, capable of increasing productivity while reducing costs, water and energy consumption, in addition to eliminating harmful emissions and discharges, guaranteeing zero contamination.

Its MissionZero transforms the way jeans are made to eliminate 100% of the discharge generated in the manufacturing and finishing of jeans, from fabric to the final garment.

Jeanologia has 10 subsidiaries and exports its products and services to 72 countries on five continents. Upwards of 35 percent of the 5 billion jeans produced each year worldwide are made with its technologies, and it has earned the trust of the market’s major brands.

AstroNova Introduces New Digital Printing Solutions

WEST WARWICK, R.I. — October 16, 2023 — AstroNova Inc., a global supplier of data visualization technologies, has introduced an array of new digital printer solutions under its flagship QuickLabel® and TrojanLabel® product brands.

QuickLabel QL-900: The QL-900 is a rugged desktop inkjet label printer designed for full-color labeling applications. Manufactured at the company’s newly acquired facility in Chicago using proven inkjet technology, the QL-900 enhances AstroNova’s expertise in providing the total printing solution, including supplies such as exclusive supply purchase programs, ongoing technical support, and a variety of label materials and substrates. The QL-900 provides a step up in usability and flexibility in the desktop QuickLabel range, featuring a built-in touchscreen interface, which includes a built-in job library, support for external RIP solution, and visual status of the printer locally (without needing an additional s/w utility installed on the host). The stand-alone capabilities offered through its touchscreen interface and internal job library enable users to easily manage printer setup and print operation.

TrojanLabel T2-PRO: The all-new T2-PRO is the company’s latest addition to its TrojanLabel brand of compact digital label presses targeted toward industrial and professional printing segments. It incorporates Memjet’s Duraflex technology to offer a print width of 12.75” (324 mm) with a high print resolution of 1600×1600 dpi using highly durable aqueous CMYK pigment inks.

The T3-OPX and VF-280 combination boosts the benefits of digital CMYK printing with flexibility, accelerated time to market, and waste reduction on sustainable and popular paper-based packaging substrates.

AstroNova offers a range of digital label printers, compact presses, and direct-to-package printing equipment under its flagship product brands – QuickLabel and TrojanLabel. It also offers a variety of blank label materials through its GetLabels® brand under its total solution approach to cater to the needs of brand owners and print shops for in-house label production. The company also provides custom design and manufacturing solutions for a range of well-known envelope and label printer brands active in the printing industry.
