ThermoWash™ PSL for Loop Applications
These pressure sensitive labels (PSL) are engineered especially for returnable glass containers, which could be applied for lots of personal care & beauty products. Printed on MCC’s in-house clear film wash-off material, the single use labels easily detach from bottles/containers in the washer.

The challenge
Today personal care and beauty brands are seeking the benefit of the environment through sustainable solutions in their containers. Loop Industries’ innovative technology decouples plastic from fossil fuels, evaluating new strategies for creating durable packaging for multi-use. With the resurgence of returnable glass packaging, MCC preferred label solutions for this system, which needed to be tested and validated by Loop to properly implement point 5 of its reuse process.
The solution
ThermoWash™ label construction is designed to separate from returnable glass containers in their industrial dishwasher. This solution is validated by Loop. Clean wash-off is achieved in a few seconds based on wash temperature and washer flowrate. The label and adhesive remove cleanly from glass leaving no residue.
ThermoWashTM labels are a key component in the MCC sustainability portfolio. Significant objectives for many of our personal care & beauty customers include reducing the carbon footprint. Enabling the reuse of glass bottles is one way to achieve this.”
