ECO POSSIBILITIES IN LABELS


3R

Reduce
  • process of reducing the basis weight/thickness of materials

  • promoting construction containing recycla

Recycle
  • expanding our product portfolio that supports recycling

  • promoting monomaterial constructions

  • wash off labels to support recycling

Reuse
  • permanent labels resistant to washing process

  • supporting liner pickup program offered by our Suppliers

SHRINK SLEEVE LABELS

Perforation
  • Easy and quick separation of film from packaging

  • Motivates the consumer to recycle

  • Possibility to secure the product

  • Can be perforated lengthwise and crosswise

Films based on renewable raw materials
  • Based on ethanol made from corn or sugar cane

  • Oil-free material

  • Biodegradable film (EN 13432) - applies to non-printed version only

PAPER

Eco recommendation
  • paper with recycled content rMC

  • thinner paper eg. RAFNXT+ and thinner liner

  • avoid opaque paper where possible

Paper with wash-off adhesive
  • the washing temperature varies by region

  • application: logistics, deposit bottles

Compostable paper
  • wide range of facematerials

FSC certification

POLYETHYLENE LABELS

ECO recommendation
  • foil with recycled content rPE 85, 80

  • cthinner material PE WHITE 65

  • rPE WHITE 80 recycled content 100%

FILM PE CLEAR 65
  • plastic reduction -20%

  • trial production required

PE PCR WHITE 85 vs PE WHITE 85*

Reduction of CO2 emission -23%

Energy reduction -33%

Water saving -21%

* Based on the UPM calculations

POLYPROPYLENE LABELS

Eco recommentation
  • foil with recycled content rPP

  • thinner material PP 50, 40

FILM rPP 60
  • recycled content >90% PCR

PP40 TOP CLEAR vs PP60 TOP CLEAR*

Reduction of CO2 emision -23%

Energy reduction -33%

Water saving -21%

* Based on the UPM calculations

LABELS BASED ON NATURAL RAW MATERIALS

PE 85 BIOB
  • material made of ethanol from sugar cane

  • performance similar to standrard PE

  • appearance similar to standard PE

BIO-BASED PP
  • sustainably sourced eg. Palm oil or tall oil

  • identical structure to standard PP construction

FOREST FILM - PE I PP
  • UPM BioVerno fossil based

  • 100% wood origin

  • identical structure to standard PP, PE constructions

PET PACKAGING + FLOATABLE LABELS

WASHOFF LABELS
  • technology CLEAN FLAKE

  • recommendation for conscious design

  • liner with recycled content rPET

  • perfect label's separation from the packaging

PET RECYCLING | HOW IT WORKS?

[1] Separation of PET bottles from other waste

[2] Collected bottles are ground into fine flakes

[3] The flakes go to a hot bath (65°-85°) in a sodium hydroxide - 1% NaOH

[4] The adhesive has a lower density than water therefore it floats. PET sinks - its density is greater than water.

LINER PICKUP PROGRAM

THE ROLE OF LINER IN SUPPLY CHAIN
  • liner counts around 30% of the value in the label supply chain

  • desylikonization, recycling and reuse

  • reduction of waste

PET RECYCLING
  • supports the circular economy

  • allows to monitor the amount of waste and CO2 emissions

  • applies to any type of glassing/PET liner

  • easy operation, application available

Taking into account current market trends in the area of environmental protection, our primary goal is to advise on the selection of raw materials in accordance with the principles of eco-design and to promote solutions that fit into the model of circular economy. Each project is analyzed with the utmost meticulousness to ensure that the proposed solution is in line with the principle of ecology-functionality, and in such a way we advise customers to make the product fully personalized while maintaining a long product life.
