Concept of PET Liner
- The current “glassine” label backing material is not easy to recycle and nearly 100% becomes land fill
- This “glassine” liner is made from processed paper and is subject to the same price rises as the face material as it all comes from the same source
- Nearly 50% of your label cost is simply thrown away as waste
- Greater flexibility than “linerless” labelling as the feed and printing process is the same as your current label material and not restricted by label shape.
- The face paper and adhesive are identical to your current self-adhesive label application
PET Liner Advantages
The waste liner is 100% recyclable and consists of pure PET material which is;
- A known commodity in the waste recycling market
- Easy to process and has unlimited re-processing potential
- Has a smaller footprint than the equivalent paper liner which means more can be stored in a smaller space ready for recycling
- Helps your business meet local and national recycling directives and ISO 14001
- Less line stops due to more labels per roll
- The elimination of land fill costs, typical cost per ton of waste is £150.00 and the cost of the uplift of the waste from the factory
- The PET waste can be sold commercially to offset your labeling cost. Current prices for clean PET is approx. £300 metric ton
- Less storage space required in the warehouse
- Reduces your “carbon footprint” and the associated cost saving in carbon credits
- Lower transport costs due to more labels per roll
