Mirri said that as a result of this demand, print buyers are looking for environmental alternatives to oil-based products.

MirriEco Ag is a direct metallized high-quality board that is recyclable and repulpable (PTS –method RH 21/97). It is a mono product that can be placed in recycling waste, with the metallic layer dispersed during the de-inking process. As it is direct metallized there is no PET film in the production process or product. This makes it recyclable without having to dispose of film, unlike in the production of transfer metallized products.

MirriEco Ag is suitable for UV litho and conventional printing using oxidizing inks, as well as a full range of post-press finishes such as die-cutting, embossing, and cutting and creasing.

Andy Kirby, general manager at Mirri, said: ‘A bespoke material manufacture can be created to suit the purpose of the job required. We anticipate interest in FMCG, multi-media and drinks packaging, point of sale and commercial print.’
