Innovative photopolymer plates made with over 50% renewable content, an industry-leading advancement in sustainability.

WILMINGTON, Del., April 27, 2026 — ���Ǵ���™ Cyrel® Flexographic Solutions has announced today that its innovative ���Ǵ���™ Cyrel® ReNew flexographic series has received the Sustainability Excellence Award at the FTA Banquet, held in Milwaukee, WI, USA, on Sunday, April 26, 2026.

“This award underscores our continued leadership in flexographic innovation and our commitment to providing a more sustainable future in the packaging printing industry,” said Tucker Norton, Vice President and General Manager, ���Ǵ���™ Cyrel® Flexographic Solutions.

Cyrel® ReNew plates incorporate more than 50% ISCC PLUS-certified bio-circular raw materials in the photopolymer, enabling a significant reduction in reliance on virgin fossil-based resources. Built on a mass balance approach, the new solution provides traceability of renewable inputs across the value chain while aligning with circular economy principles.

“The award recognizes the Cyrel® ReNew series as a breakthrough in sustainable platemaking, supporting the transition away from fossil-based raw materials while maintaining the performance standards required for high quality packaging printing”, said Serena Stephenson, Director of Innovation, ���Ǵ���™ Cyrel® Flexographic Solutions.

Cyrel® ReNew LSH represents the first product of the newly introduced family plates. It brings the LED exposure technology from Cyrel® Lightning, while reducing the product’s carbon footprint through the application of the mass balance methodology. As a drop-in solution, Cyrel® ReNew LSH delivers the same high-quality print performance as conventional Cyrel® Lightning LSH plates. ���Ǵ���™ Cyrel® ReNew LSH plates can deliver a 15% lower product carbon footprint compared with fossil-based plates – saving approximately 83 kg CO₂e per box of 10 plates, an impact comparable to growing a tree seedling for 10 years.*

“With Cyrel®, we’re focused on advancing flexographic technologies that reduce environmental impact while maintaining the quality, consistency, and reliability our customers expect. This is clearly demonstrated by our well-established Cyrel® FAST thermal system, as well as our recent GreenCircle certification,” said Stephenson. “The Cyrel® ReNew recognition marks another meaningful milestone and reflects the team’s continued commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable plate solutions.

“As customers continue to demand solutions that meet their sustainability needs, advanced technologies such as Cyrel® ReNew create new opportunities across the packaging value chain. ���Ǵ��� understand how sustainability is a key concern for our customers around the world, and this solution strengthens their position with brand owners who are prioritizing transparency and environmental accountability,” said Norton. “This is not simply about meeting targets—it’s about building stronger, future-focused relationships. ���Ǵ���’re fully committed to advancing technologies that unlock new possibilities in flexographic platemaking, while addressing sustainability challenges without compromising the quality and consistency of the final print,” Tucker said.

* Estimates are based on a rounded global estimate of Square Feet (SF) of 0.067 thickness, 50x80 plates consumed annually and the U.S. EPA — Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator. One “tree” represents a tree seedling grown for 10 years. Equivalencies are for communication only and do not represent tree planting or carbon offsets. Claims are limited to the differential product carbon footprint (ReNew LSH vs. Classic LSH) and are not general environmental benefit claims. The ���Ǵ���™ Cyrel® bio-circular flexographic plate LCA is assessed with cradle‑to‑gate methodology using a long‑established, third‑party‑reviewed LCA aligned with ISO 14040/14044 and ISO 14067, explicitly accounting for biogenic carbon via industry‑standard tools and certified feedstock data to deliver a high‑confidence product carbon footprint demonstrating GHG benefits.
