Types of Sustainable Label Materials.
Sustainable label materials come in various forms, each designed to reduce environmental impact while maintaining high performance.
Below, we explore the different types of eco-friendly labels, their key benefits, and the best applications for each.
Biodegradable Labels.
Biodegradable labels naturally break down over time, leaving no harmful residues. These labels are typically made from plant-based materials, including Sugarcane Fiber, a byproduct of sugar production that offers a durable option, and Cotton Paper, a natural alternative that provides a premium feel for high-end products.
Recycled Labels.
Labels made from post consumer recycled materials help reduce landfill waste and energy consumption. These labels are typically crafted from 100% Recycled Paper, which maintains high quality printing while using fully recycled fibres, or Recycled Plastic Films, which reduce plastic waste while offering durability and flexibility.
Compostable Labels.
Compostable labels decompose under industrial or home composting conditions, making them ideal for sustainable packaging. These labels are commonly made from PLA (Polylactic Acid) Films, which are derived from renewable sources like cornstarch and Wood Pulp Based Bioplastics, which offer a great finish.
Recyclable Labels.
Recyclable labels are designed to be compatible with standard recycling streams, ensuring they don’t contaminate the recycling process. Key considerations for recyclable labels include using recycling compatible adhesives that allow the labels to be removed cleanly, enabling the packaging to be fully recycled.
Linerless Labels.
Linerless labels are an innovative solution that eliminates traditional label backing, reducing waste and improving efficiency. These labels offer significant benefits, such as eliminating backing paper waste, which reduces landfill waste and material usage, increasing efficiency by providing more labels per roll and requiring fewer roll changes, and lowering the carbon footprint by using less material, resulting in reduced transportation and storage emissions.
By integrating eco-friendly labels into your packaging, your brand demonstrates a commitment to sustainability while enhancing consumer trust. Explore our range of sustainable label solutions and take the next step toward a greener future.
