Inkcups has been awarded adiFormulator Rising Star and adiFormulator Most Improved awards in the second year of the adiFormulator program

Global printing industry leader Inkcups was recently awarded the adiFormulator Rising Star and adiFormulator Most Improved awards by Adidas as part of its adiFormulator program.

The awards recognize Inkcups’ contributions and commitment to advancing sustainable chemical solutions by driving ZDHC MRSL Compliance and Conformance Level 3 in its SB Eco Series Inks.

Level 3 is the highest level of ZDHC MRSL[1] conformance. In addition to the analytical testing, comprehensive safety data sheet (SDS) review, and on-site assessment of management systems that are required for Levels 1 and 2, achieving Level 3 requires a successful on-site assessment of the chemical hazard assessment capability of a formulator. Of the 50 products submitted for testing and assessment as part of this process, all 50 conformed to the Level 3 criteria.

Now in its second year, adiFormulator is a program developed by Adidas for chemical formulators who produce chemical formulations used in the production and printing of Adidas products[2].

Joe Shairs, Ink Manager, Inkcups comments: “It is the responsibility of our whole industry to find ways to make sustainability part of our businesses, and at Inkcups we aim to provide practical solutions that support our customers in achieving this. This is why we were so excited to get involved in the adiFormulator program this year, and also why we’re so pleased to have had our commitment to developing sustainable solutions recognized with these awards.”
