PE and PP film labels made entirely from recyclate
This makes them completely made of recycled polyethylene and the ideal complement to sustainable products. This environmental innovation also makes a visual impression: available in white and transparent, the special look signals that recycled material has been used. In the case of recycled labels made of PP, a special process is also used to achieve a more homogeneous surface.

Label made from recycled paper
Our portfolio of paper face materials ranges from 30 to 100% recycled content and have the great advantage of not compromising outstanding print results.
Manufactured without chlorine bleach, these recycled label materials offer whiteness and brightness equivalent to conventional face materials. In addition, recycled paper reduces energy, water and wood consumption, lowers greenhouse gas emissions and waste.
Plant-based products made from renewable resources or by-products reduce dependence on dwindling petroleum resources and the environmental pollution associated with fossil fuel extraction.

Grass paper
Half of the pulp in grass paper labels is made from fresh fibres, or more precisely, from sun-dried grass. With only one litre of water required per tonne, this natural paper impressively outshines conventional wood pulp production with 6,000 litres. The result is equally impressive: a noble, high-quality label that meets all expectations in terms of texture and appearance.

Glass Recycling - for higher recycling yields
In the case of disposable bottles, recyclable glass may be contaminated with unwanted label material. It therefore enters the recycling stream unintentionally or ends up in landfill. Glass Recycling PP film reduces the amount of glass that ends up in the trash from 40 to 1.5 kg per tonne.
