UPM Raflatac has revealed it is extending the scope of its CarbonNeutral certified labelling materials to cover the entire lifecycle emissions of a label.
This, the company explained, allows customers to offer their printed and converted labels as CarbonNeutral product certified. The development builds on UPM Raflatac’s Life Cycle Assessment service, Label Life, which recently received a new certificate of validity from international assurance service provider, DEKRA.
UPM Raflatac’s CarbonNeutral certified products include the linerless label range with solutions designed for direct thermal linerless main end uses, including hospitality, e-commerce and logistics, and grocery retail. The products also include pressure-sensitive labels in the lower-carbon range RAFNXT+ designed for a variety of labels used in food, logistics, and home care packaging.
Sylwia Jurys, VP, paper laminates SBU EMEIA, UPM Raflatac, said, “We are committed to our environmental targets and offer industry-shaping solutions that meet our customers’ needs and serve them now and in the future.
