Welcome to our first newsletter of 2019! Our Printing & Packaging team has plenty of exciting product news for you. If you are keen to use more renewables, check out the three new products we recently launched. Also, discover how our new primer, Joncryl^® 1689, can enhance your aluminium lidding. And read all about the latest addition to our dispersant toolkit, highly efficient Efka^® PX 4703.

On another note, if you are concerned about how to ensure your products will fulfill regulatory requirements five or ten years from now, our Product Stewardship team is here to help. Find out more about the big trends and how we can support you in my interview below.
