Associated Labels and Packaging is happy to announce that we are now accepting customers to participate in our Paper Label Liner
Recycling Program!
A silicone coating is added to paper label liners for both digital and flexo labels in order to create a non-stick surface for label application. This
process renders spent label liners non-recyclable. Fortunately there are a handful of mills in North America which have the proper tooling to
desiliconize release liners. The fibres from this process get added to a circular economy with new label liners created with Post-Industrial
Recycled Material (PIR) content. More commonly however, these high value fibre feedstocks are used for food packaging, office stationary
and the like.
Shipping and processing costs to the recycler will be covered by Associated Labels and Packaging. If you are interested in joining this program and would like more information, please contact your sales rep.
