Label choice matters in packaging recyclability

Our wash-off labeling solutions help brands accelerate their ambitious recyclability targets by supporting the circular economy. The clear, white and metallized film label stocks feature our unique RW85C wash-off adhesive and a PET liner made from 90 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) content exceeding APR Critical Guidance requirements. We also offer paper wash-off labels that separate cleanly from PET and HDPE flakes.

  • Identical in quality and performance to traditional solutions
  • Available in clear, white and metallized film to suit a range of decoration needs
