Rudholm Group has partnered with Living Ink Technologies which developed an algae-based ink collection called Algae Ink™. An innovative ink technology formulated with their carbon-negative pigment, Algae Black™, is used by Rudholm for offset printing on paper products.
What is Algae Ink™?
Algae Ink™ is an environmentally friendly, renewable, and bio-based ink derived from repurposed waste algae biomass. This algae byproduct is leftover after extracting molecules for natural nutritional supplements and is repurposed by Living Ink to produce their carbon-negative black pigment that is used across various applications like paints, coatings, and the formulation of printing inks, such as Algae Ink™.
Algae Ink™ Advantages
- Made from Waste Biomass (Spirulina Algae)
- Jet black colour available
- Comes from a carbon-negative pigment (the hangtags/paper itself are not carbon-negative)
- Renewable and safe
- Innovative
- Vegetable-based soy ink

What Products does Rudholm offer this for?

- As we continue to witness the growing demand for sustainable solutions, we plan to expand its usage to other product categories and countries soon.
