What are Recyclable Labels?
Wash-off Pressure-sensitive Labels
Maximizing Recyclability
These labels are designed to maximize the recyclability of packaging materials, such as PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), by ensuring easy separation from the package during the recycling process. This helps keep quality PET materials circulating in the recycling stream, reducing waste and environmental impact.
No Compromise in Performance or Aesthetics
Despite their recyclability, wash-off pressure-sensitive labels do not compromise on performance or aesthetics. They maintain excellent adhesion to packaging surfaces while also offering high-quality printing capabilities, ensuring that brands can maintain their visual appeal without sacrificing sustainability.
Recognition by Industry Bodies
Wash-off pressure-sensitive labels are recognized by leading industry bodies such as The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), further validating their effectiveness in promoting recyclability and sustainability in packaging solutions.
