May 2, 2025 (press release) –
RadTech is proud to announce the winners of the 2025 Sustainability Awards, recognizing outstanding achievements in sustainable innovation among technology suppliers and end-users of UV/EB technology.
RadTech has long championed UV/EB technology as a sustainable choice for technical development. With these awards, RadTech highlights the industry’s ongoing commitment to promoting and advancing environmentally responsible innovation.
Whitehall Technical Services Ltd's focus on sustainable manufacturing includes the use of solar-powered, waterless UV LED-curing to coat and cure modular housing panels. Made from fast-growing plantation pine, each panel serves as a long-term carbon sink. The fully automated process reduces energy use, eliminates VOCs, and enhances worker safety—delivering high-performance protection with minimal environmental impact.
PPG is developing new opportunities for UV/EB with its DuraNEXT™ coil coating line. With 100% solids formulations and electric-powered curing, PPG has demonstrated up to 70% reductions in greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional systems, supported by life cycle analysis. These innovations represent a major step forward in sustainable metal finishing.
ProAmpac is advancing flexible packaging with its PRO-EVO® Recyclable SOS Bags, which use UV-curable inks and HD flexographic printing. These bags reduce VOC emissions, enhance air quality, and are designed for curbside recyclability, delivering a sustainable alternative for pet food and other consumer goods packaging.
Nedap's ultra-efficient UV lamp drivers reportedly achieve up to 96.5% energy efficiency, well above industry norms. With a power factor of 0.99 and minimal harmonic distortion, Nedap systems reduce energy loss and infrastructure strain. The company is aligned with the Science-Based Targets initiative, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2030.
These companies are standout examples of how the UV/EB industry is holistically and efficiently working toward sustainable manufacturing and a bright future.
