RecycLABEL®
To ensure the label would be 100% recyclable, the team used MCC’s recycLABEL® solution, approved by the Association of Plastic Recyclers and EPBP (European PET Bottle Platform). RecycLABEL® is a solution recognized by the APR (Association of Plastic Recyclers). It was created to make labels compatible with the PET recycling process. The main performance indicators of recycLABEL® include:
- Adhesive releases cleanly from the PET
- Label material floats during the separation step
- Ink remains adhered to the label (no substantial discoloration of the wash water and residual ink removal does not stain the PET flake) The changes instigated led to the new green recycling logos being added to the products allowing the brand not only to fulfil requirements but also to have a positive impact on its environmental sustainability initiatives
