UPM Raflatac

https://www.upmraflatac.com/

As one of the world’s leading producers of pressure-sensitive label materials, we at UPM Raflatac are committed to labeling a smarter future beyond fossils. Together with our partners and customers, we’re continually innovating to bring more sustainable and higher quality labeling solutions to multiple industries. These include food, beverage, pharma, home and personal care, package delivery, and industrial.
The transition to the sustainable future of labeling rests on two cornerstones:

Companies must introduce more renewable, recycled and resource-efficient solutions to replace the use of labels made from fossil-based virgin feedstocks.
Companies must take control of the life cycle management of their labels and release liner waste to prevent reusable and recyclable packaging from ending up in landfills.

We call this transition Making the Switch & Closing the Loop. Our goals are to help you reduce your packaging footprint, reach your sustainability goals, and create added brand value among environmentally aware consumers.
MAKE THE SWITCH to sustainable package labeling:

SWITCH to REDUCED materials like UPM Raflatac Vanish™ PCR thin film
SWITCH to materials with RECYCLED content like PCR PET Liner
SWITCH to RENEWABLE materials like UPM Raflatac ForestFilm™ and RAFNXT+

CLOSE THE LOOP for the circular economy:

CLOSE THE LOOP with labels that enhance RECYCLING like UPM Raflatac Wash-off
CLOSE THE LOOP by enabling REUSE of packaging with floatable and removable label solutions
CLOSE THE LOOP by RECYCLING release liner waste with RafCycle™ by UPM Raflatac service
