UPM Raflatac – RW85C increases recycling efficiency for labelling PET containers in industries including food and beverage.

Reducing plastic waste is a high priority on the global packaging agenda, and companies are looking for solutions to maximize the recyclability of PET containers and promote a circular economy. UPM Raflatac has developed innovative and sustainable new film labels with RW85C wash-off adhesive and 90% post-consumer recycled content PET liners can help brands achieve their sustainability targets for their packaging materials.

IMEC Media supplies customers with labels using this technology demonstrating a strong commitment to product recyclability and reuse, we can supply a range of wash-off film labeling solutions constructed with RW85C adhesive and a PET liner made from 90% post-consumer recycled content that exceed the strict standards of the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) for recyclable label products.

Ideal for labeling PET containers in the food, beverage, home care, and personal care segments, these clear, white, and metalized film label stocks featuring RW85C wash-off adhesive and a PET liner made from 90% post-consumer recycled content are able to undergo common PET recycling processes without contaminating any of the PET flake by-products. During the caustic washing process, the polypropylene labels easily separate from PET containers and float, allowing more high-value, clean PET flakes to be recovered.
