Resino is a family-owned Danish company that produces inks and coatings for printing. A list of inks from Resino has been granted the ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® certification for textile chemicals. These inks are for printing on nonwoven hygiene products, including diapers, sanitary towels, and tampons.
The ECO PASSPORT ensures that every ingredient in these inks meets the statutory requirements of the ECO PASSPORT. This means that the inks are safe for human and environmental health and can be used for ecologically responsible textile production. These inks, including the inks’ pigments, meet the high demands set by the brand owners. This involves demands related to adhesion and the environment, health, and purity which can be validated through the ECO PASSPORT.
The certification system ECO PASSPORT is designed for manufacturers of process chemicals and chemical compounds. The leather and textile chemicals certified by the ECO PASSPORT have been tested for harmful substances in critical concentrations as listed in the ECO PASSPORT standard. The label also proves that articles meet ecologically responsible textile and leather manufacture criteria.
Resino Inks is deeply involved in the market for nonwoven hygiene products. To serve this market, Resino offers a one- and two-component ink series that fulfill the requirements to obtain the ECO Passport. For nonwoven hygiene products and baby-based nonwovens, such certifications are crucial due to the sensitivity of the baby’s skin.
