Sustainable inks and printing inks for tomorrow’s requirements!
We help manufacturers and users of inks and printing inks to reduce emissions, improve their carbon footprint, enhance recyclability and increase the proportion of renewable raw materials. We develop solutions that combine sustainability with innovation, because sustainability requires innovation and innovation requires sustainability.
From analysis through formulation development to implementation, we support companies on their journey towards high-performance and more sustainable products.

Sustainability – it’s who we are, that’s what we do
Renewable raw materials
Replacing fossil resources with bio-based alternatives.
The use of renewable raw materials is becoming increasingly important in printing inks and other inks.
Your benefit: Reduced dependence on fossil raw materials and clear added value in terms of sustainability for your products.
Recyclability and
de-inkability
The circular economy starts with design.
Modern packaging and printed products must be increasingly recyclable. The printing ink used plays a crucial role in this.
Your benefit: Better recycling rates and greater acceptance amongst brand owners and packaging manufacturers.
Reducing the carbon footprint
Making sustainability measurable.
The carbon footprint of inks and printing inks is increasingly becoming a key competitive factor.
Your benefit: Verifiable climate protection measures and reliable data for customers, stakeholders and sustainability reports.
VOC reduction
Fewer emissions. Greater future-proofing.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can cause environmental and health problems and are increasingly the focus of regulatory requirements.
Your benefit: Reduced emissions, improved health and safety at work, and greater acceptance amongst customers and regulatory authorities.
We make your products even more sustainable
Why prometho?
Many years’ expertise in inks, printing inks and ‘clever inks’,
A combination of expertise in chemistry, sustainability and regulatory affairs,
Practical formulation development,
In-house laboratories and application engineering,
Pilot plant for initial test runs,
Confidential, partnership-based collaboration,
Conducting patent researches,
Extensive supplier network,
Excellent relationships with research institutions,
Verifiable sustainability improvements rather than greenwashing.
Sustainable formulations are not created by individual raw materials, but through a holistic development process.
We begin by analysing the current situation.
We subsequently identify potential areas for improvement.
Next comes implementation: We develop or optimise the formulations.
Finally, we measure and verify sustainability performance.
We are also happy to provide support with customer and regulatory requirements..
