What does sustainable embellishment mean and how do we get there?

Can premium embellishment truly be sustainable? At KURZ, we believe it can. Our transfer technology ensures that no plastic film is applied to the final product – only an ultra-thin lacquer layer remains, which does not influence recyclability. But what happens to the carrier material removed during the application process? In this presentation, we will explore how KURZ is addressing this challenge with its slim program, a PET reduction plan that minimizes the use of carrier material in the industrial cycle. For material that cannot be avoided, our in-house recycling system, RECOSYS® 2.0, provides an innovative solution to reintroduce it into the process. Join us to learn how sustainable practices and cutting-edge technology can transform embellishment – reducing waste while maintaining exceptional quality.
