YUPO is the 100% recyclable, waterproof, tree-free Synthetic Paper with attributes and properties that make it the perfect solution for a variety of marketing, design, packaging and labeling needs. YUPO Synthetic Papers are extruded from polypropylene pellets. The process of extrusion occurs in our quarter-mile long manufacturing facility located in Chesapeake, Virginia. The various grades, weights and thickness of YUPO are spun into spools in lengths from 725 yards to 7,500 yards, which are cut in to widths from 6 to 66 inches. After cutting and finishing has taken place, they are ready to ship to distributors and manufacturers for commercial and technical markets.
Sustainable Capabilities
- Sustainable Capabilities: For responsible packaging and responsible branding, there are so many reasons for you to #DoitonYUPO. YUPO IML Substrates offer designers, printers and manufacturers significant sustainability benefits. YUPO attributes and label processing methods offer a 100% tree-free substrate, preserving our forests for future generations. During the IML process, YUPO actually becomes part of blow-molded bottles, and is recyclable as part of the packaging. Thus, no chemicals are required for label removal as with pressure sensitive options downstream at the recycler. YUPO IML requires no backing materials, resulting in significant source reduction and decrease in waste products at the printer.
