EuPIA's exclusion policy typically includes substances that are:

Banned by regulations
This includes substances that are prohibited by applicable laws and regulations, such as specific chemicals restricted under REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) or other relevant legislation.

Not appropriate for use in food packaging
Certain chemicals, even if not explicitly banned, may be deemed unsuitable for use in printing inks intended for food packaging due to potential migration risks or safety concerns.

Subject to potential future restrictions
EuPIA may proactively exclude certain substances that are under regulatory scrutiny or could potentially face restrictions in the future. This pre-emptive action helps ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Who is EuPIA exactly?

EuPIA or the European Printing Ink Association, is an organization representing the interests of the printing ink industry in Europe. EuPIA has developed an exclusion policy that outlines the types of raw materials that should not be used in the production of printing inks due to safety and regulatory concerns. The primary purpose of this policy is to ensure the safety and compliance of printing inks used in packaging and other printed materials that come into contact with food or other sensitive products.
