Ecological Labels in Recyclable Material
There are some types of eco-labels that can be recycled, as can the packaging on which they are placed. Let's analyze some types:
Forest Film label
​
It is white or transparent polypropylene in whose production oil is replaced with biomass. The result will be that 30% of the label will be 100% renewable.
It is estimated that for every ton of oil not used, CO2 emissions are reduced by as much as 3 tons.
PE and PP Lite
​
PE/PP Lite labels are thinner and lighter than traditional PE/PP film.
Using this type of label has many advantages: o brand owners can become leaders in the sustainable product labeling market, differentiating themselves from the competition and increasing productivity along the value chain.
​
The use of PE/PP Lite labels bringsto optimizing the use of raw materials and benefits in terms of sustainability by reducing environmental impact.
FSC Recyclable and FSC Silicone Material
​
These are labels made 99% from post-consumer waste. These labels contribute to a circular economy and reduce the impact on forests as raw materials remain in use for as long as possible, promoting recycling.
​
Furthermore, these are certified labelsFSC® which provides thewarrantythat the materials used come from recycled materials and sustainably managed forests.
​
FSC silicone paper is made with recycled content: the silicone paper is recovered, desiliconized and, through a manufacturing process, a new film is placed on the market.
Wash-Off Labels​
​
Wash-off labeling solutions respond to the growing demand for innovative methods to increase the recyclability of PET and the reuse of glass packaging.
​
With wash-off labels, the materials separate during the PET washing process. In this way, the clean and reusable PET parts fall to the bottom, constituting new recycled material.
​
This process leads to an increase in the availability of high-quality recycled raw materials,reducing the need for plastic virgin.
