Switch to reduce, switch to recycled, and switch to renewable materials. Your choice of food packaging raw materials has a significant impact on your environmental footprint. Improve the sustainability of your food packaging by critically assessing your raw materials and exploring ways to use less and switch to more sustainable alternatives. 

A good rule of thumb for label sustainability is simple: the less virgin fossil materials need to be used, the more sustainable it is likely to be. An informed choice to a new, modern label solution can help you improve the sustainability of your food packaging. Label Life, our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) service provides you with the environmental impact assessments of our label solutions, so that you can effortlessly switch to reduce your footprint.

Recycle and reuse with compatible labels. Choose label solutions that enhance food packaging recyclability or enable reuse to ensure your food packaging is part of the solution in preserving valuable resources. Close the material loop by choosing label materials compatible with your food packaging recycling stream. As a result, you will improve the yield and quality of the recovered material. With the right choice of label, you can even enable food packaging reuse in some cases. 

Another way to enhance circularity is recycling label waste. Recycle label release liner waste with RafCycle™, our recycling service. You will cut emissions and support circularity in the process.
