Recyclable

Characterised by their recycling facilitation technology enabling clean PET recovery for use in rPET, wash-off labels are designed for use in a closed loop system including deposit return schemes in support of recycling and sustainability targets.

Wash-off labels, available in PE, PP and some tailored paper substrates for application on PET bottles and containers, use an adhesive developed to be deactivated during the recycling process for easy separation of materials. At the wash-off stage, the label material floats while clean PET flakes sink due to their different densities, allowing its maximum recovery for re-use in rPET as part of a circular process.
