Since the 1990s, Hubergroup is always taking difficult challenges. In order to pursue environmental sustainability and lead the industry, we have developed the highest standard ink that is friendly to end-users, consumers and even the environment. Hubergroup has long been concerned about the importance of environmental sustainability and the health and safety of printing users, and has solemnly set a lofty goal of realizing mutual respect and harmonious coexistence between people and the environment.

We at the Hubergroup avoids using raw materials that are required as part of the food chain and developed the vegetable-oil (Mineral Oil Free, MOF) offset ink that is a leader in the industry. We have designed the unique logo for MOF idea, and which is authorized to be sued by Melchers (Taiwan) in the Asia-Pacific markets.

Our global well-known MGA® food-grade ink system (including food-grade varnishes, fount solution etc., the complete solution for food packaging), was upgrade developed by our MOF vegetable-oil ink bases. We manufactured in independent facility which is compliant with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standard and launched to global markets to strictly guarding for the safety of food packaging around the world.

For the great goal of sustainable coexistence between people and the environment, we are proud to be the first ink manufacturing company in the world to successfully develop a cobalt-free drying system. Our co-free ink has successfully removed toxic cobalt compounds which were usually added by many ink manufacturers into traditional inks to help them be oxidized drying.

Our ECO-OFFSET environmentally friendly ink we have been proud were successfully awarded the "Cradle to Cradle" (C2C) Bronze and Silver certifications in 2017. They are not only full vegetable oil inks (mineral-oil-free inks; MOF) but also zero-VOC inks, and complying with the latest world environmental regulations (including the latest French environmental protection law Article D543-45-1). Keep improving, our raw materials were awarded the C2C material health gold certification in 2021.

Hubergroup said: "It is our great honor for our products to award C2C silver certification. We have also set new standards in the printing industry in terms of environmental protection and resource conservation. We hope to continue to give full play of our strengths and take the lead in promoting the "healthy printing" of the ideal circular economy upon "cradle to cradle" environmental protection printing production.”
