How does RafCycle work?
Depending on the region, landfilling and waste-to-energy are the typical solutions for label release liner waste. With RafCycle and the circular economy approach, landfill waste can be avoided.
We take care of label release liner waste arising at three points along the value chain:
- Label stock manufacturing: Coating and trimming waste
- Label printers: Matrix and start-up waste
- Brand-owners: Glassine/PET waste
RafCycle takes self-adhesive label by-products and gives them new life as magazine paper, paper liner, composite material, or energy.
