When buying a product, consumers also take into account how sustainable the product packaging and the used label are. Hence the question is plastic better than paper or vice versa? There is no general answer to this question. It is important though that the same materials are used for a packaging, for example a PET label on a PET bottle with a PET cap or a paper label on a cardboard box. Unlike composite packaging mono-packaging can be recycled as a whole and without the consumer having to manually separate the different materials that composite packaging are made of. If that doesn’t happen in advance the only way to recycle is thermal recycling, in other words waste incineration.
In addition, the sustainability of a packaging can be increased by using environmentally friendly labels. DTM Print, international OEM and solution provider for specialty printing systems, has bundled its selection of eco-friendly, recycled or natural labels under the new label line DTM EcoTec. As of now, the following four inkjet materials are part of the EcoTec line; further substrates will follow:
In addition, the water-soluble adhesive of the aforementioned labels is below 0.01%. That means, it also passes the recycling process.
"To produce exceptional product labels for all kinds of applications you not only need advanced and resource-friendly print technology as integrated in our colour label printers but also high-quality material," explains Albion Bekolli, label specialist at DTM Print. “Every product leaves a footprint on our planet and using label material that is environmentally-friendly and sustainable helps to keep it as small as possible.”
DTM Print will introduce its DTM EcoTec substrates at Natural & Organic Products Europe in London, 16-17 April 2023. For more information visit dtm-print.eu.
