Sustainability and recyclability: What was once a trend in the packaging industry is now a necessity. Consumers are demanding it, brands are establishing ambitious goals and it’s up to the suppliers, equipment manufacturers and everyone else to work together in achieving it all.
And while much of the focus on sustainability and/or recyclability is on the overall flexible pouch or bag, the label must also be accounted for in many cases. The latter has been a big initiative of UPM Raflatac for years, and new developments and offerings from the label supplier is helping usher in a new era of green labeling.
