Celanese supplying bio-based ethyl acetate to Siegwerk for sustainable ink production

Share:

Celanese Corp. (Dallas, Tex.) and ink and coating manufacturer Siegwerk (Siegburg, Germany) announced a collaboration to supply more sustainable solutions in the printing ink value chain through utilizing bio-based ethyl acetate manufactured by Celanese.

The ethyl acetate produced by Celanese contains 50% bio-based content, helping to decrease the consumption of fossil-derived raw materials compared to conventional substitutes. Siegwerk uses the bio-based solvent-based products as a drop-in solution in its existing ink formulations, enabling the production of greater sustainable items without compromising performance or requiring changes to established manufacturing processes.

“The partnership with Celanese immediately aligns with Siegwerk’s SustainUP program, our global sustainable procurement initiative, which is a key pillar of HorizonNOW 2030 – Siegwerk’s overarching sustainability strategy,” said Cathleen Hansohm, Global Supplier Sustainability Manager. “The consumption of a 50% bio-content ethyl acetate supports our ambition to expand the consumption of renewable feedstocks in a responsible and scalable way.”

“Collaboration is key to driving meaningful progress toward sustainability,” said Kevin Norfleet, Senior Director, Sustainability, at Celanese. “By working closely with Siegwerk, Celanese contributes to solutions that decrease the consumption of fossil resources while maintaining the high performance standards required in demanding applications such as printing inks.”

The initiative highlights both companies’ shared commitment to advancing sustainability through practical, scalable solutions that deliver tangible environmental benefits while reinforcing the critical role of value-chain collaboration in enabling truly sustainable packaging.
