major awards won
Inkcups was awarded both the adiFormulator Rising Star and Most Improved distinctions by Adidas as part of its adiFormulator program, a rigorous initiative developed by Adidas for chemical formulators whose products are used in the production and printing of Adidas goods. Now in its second year, the program sets the global benchmark for chemical compliance in apparel and footwear manufacturing.
These awards specifically recognize Inkcups’ contributions and commitment to advancing sustainable chemical solutions by driving ZDHC MRSL Compliance and Conformance at Level 3, the highest achievable level, through our SB Eco Series Inks.
Level 3 is the pinnacle of ZDHC MRSL conformance. Beyond the analytical testing, comprehensive Safety Data Sheet review, and on-site assessments required for Levels 1 and 2, Level 3 additionally requires a successful on-site assessment of a formulator’s chemical hazard assessment capability. Of the 50 products Inkcups submitted, all 50 conformed to Level 3 criteria — a perfect score.
Why this matters to you
If you produce goods for brands that require clean-chemistry supply chains, or if you’re future-proofing your production against tightening global chemical regulations, Inkcups’ ZDHC Level 3 status means our inks are among the safest, most compliant in the world. Fewer regulatory risks. Cleaner audits. Stronger brand partnerships.
