They employ water-based inks approved for use with high temperatures during printing.

It is great that we have been able the reduce the environmental impact of these products," commented Peter Ralten, commercial business development director at Sirane.
The amount of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) released during production is decreased by using water-based printing. The films may be used to safely cook most foods, including fish, meat, poultry, and vegetables, at higher temperatures.
