Supply Chains Go Beyond Recycling     The rise on global waste is driving organizations to leverage water-soluble direct thermal materials with their supply chains. In light of the recent leuco dye shortage, traditional non-dissolvable direct thermal materials have experienced considerable price inflation. The previous price hikes for commoditized direct thermal products has undoubtedly reduced the price premiums that are often associated with utilizing water-soluble technologies. Many businesses are now reconsidering this game-changing technology and are ready to take advantage of the many unique benefits that water-soluble materials have to offer. Now joining us to discuss – environmentally sustainable water-soluble paper-based materials is Jonathan Jakubowski.
