  • Label Liners: Meeting the Sustainability Challenge

    Label Liners: Meeting the Sustainability Challenge

    Label liners: meeting the sustainability challenge By Mariya Nedelcheva, Product Manager Film & With ever-greater emphasis placed on packaging and waste reduction, Jenny Wassenaar, Compliance & Sustainability brand owners are looking for solutions that secure their sustainability Director, Avery Dennison credentials. Consumers pay particularly close attention to packaging, where there are significant environmental gains to be made. For example, waste from labelling can create useful by-products and circular economies. Waste is not always visible on the final packaging, but its impact on brand reputation is no less real. Consumers’ perceptions of a brand can be enhanced when sustainability is improved. label.averydennison.com Matrix Liner Final White paper waste waste label 16% 35% 37% Start-up waste plus Challenge printed End-user The challenge of recycling waste from the labelling process in error scrap - and ideally creating useful by-products - is complex. Many 10% 1% different elements must be addressed in order to move towards the ultimate goal of zero waste. For example, the word ‘recyclable’ can mean many things, and should not be viewed in isolation. Today there is a chance that recyclable products will still end up in landfill, so what matters is establishing genuinely viable end-to-end recycling solutions. That means considering every component within packaging, including where it comes from, how much material has been used, and what happens at every stage of the package’s journey through the value chain. This paper discusses how the sustainability of labelling laminates can be improved, with a particular focus on the label release liners that are left behind once labels have been dispensed.

    Parchment-Like Paper Using Water Hyacinth Pulp

    Philippine Journal of Science 141 (2): 179-185, December 2012 ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: 20 Sept 2011 Parchment-Like Paper Using Water Hyacinth Pulp Erlinda L. Mari Forest Products Research and Development Institute Department of Science and Technology College, Laguna Water hyacinth pulps, obtained by open-vessel cooking of fresh, air-dried, and ground water hyacinth stems, were mixed with abaca and wastepaper pulps to form handsheets. The handsheets had natural glaze and those from pure hyacinth pulps were fairly translucent, with Cobb values of 38-40 g/m2 that compare well with commercial parchment paper. Compared with either pure abaca or pure wastepaper pulp, replacement with water hyacinth pulp by 25 to 75% significantly improved burst index and tensile index, suggesting better formation and bonding of fibers. Inversely, however, any amount of the soft and short-fibered hyacinth pulp with either pulp reduced tear index, understandably because this property is dependent more on fiber length. With wastepaper pulp, water hyacinth pulp improves the tensile property to a level comparable with that of paper from abaca pulp as well as parchment paper. Key Words: Cobb values, fiber formation, tensile index INTRODUCTION Interestingly, water hyacinth is already widely used in handmade papermaking (HMP) in Kenya (http:// Local studies on the pulp and papermaking potential of www.unep.org/roa 2008) and Bangladesh (http:// water hyacinth conducted in the late seventies (Zerrudo www.

Abstract: Because there is a lack of wood resources in many countries, this work focused on pulp and paper production from the waste and agricultural residues of non-wood plants. The work aimed to pulp the nitrate-alkaline of black mustard (Brassica Nigra L.) and camelina (Camelina Sativa L.). The black mustard and the camelina were selected due to the expanding planted areas of these crops in the Czech Republic. To characterize the chemical composition of black mustard and camelina, cellulose, lignin, ash, and extractives were determined. Raw alpha-cellulose, beta-cellulose, and gamma-cellulose were also measured. The results showed that the content of lignin in non-wood plants is lower than that in softwoods. The cooked pulp was characterized by the delignification degree–Kappa number.

Recently, biopolymers have attracted increased attention as paper coatings, which can provide new combinations in composite formulas to meet the requirements of food packaging. The number of studies on biopolymers for developing barrier properties of packaging materials is increasing, but only a few of them are addressed to food packaging paper. Polysaccharides are viewed as the main candidates to substitute oil-based polymers in food paper coating, due to their film forming ability, good affinity for paper substrate, appropriate barrier to gases and aroma, and positive effect on mechanical strength. Additionally, these biopolymers are biodegradable, non-toxic and act as a matrix for incorporation additives with specific functionalities for coated paper (i.e., active-antimicrobial properties). This paper presents an overview on the availability and application of polysaccharides from vegetal and marine biomass in coatings for foods packaging paper.

(Plastic, metal, glass, corrugated, aluminum) ❑ What are the surface conditions? (Smooth, or textured, flat or curved, clean or oily) ❑ What environment will the label be exposed to? ❑ At what temperature will the label be applied? ❑ Does the label need to be permanent or removable? ❑ Is there any imprinting? If imprinting, what method is being used? ❑ Is “PPAP” required? Label Characteristics ❑ Do you have a sample? If yes, do you want us to match your sample? ❑ Do you have a blueprint? If yes, please provide. ❑ What is the size of the label? Do you want exact size or is there a +/-? ❑ How many colors? (Spot color or CMYK) ❑ Material type?(Paper, Film, Polyester, Polypropylene, etc.) ❑ Is there a “Mandatory Liner “if yes what is it? ❑ Does the label need “Lamination” for protection? (Gloss, matte, etc.) ❑ How is it being applied? (Machine or hand-applied) ❑ Is there consecutive numbering? ❑ Are there any bar codes? If yes, what is the symbology? ❑ Any copy changes? If yes, how many? Finishing Requirements ❑ Is it die cut or butt cut? ❑ What’s the “finishing style”? ❑ How do you want your finished copy position? ❑ What’s the quantity per roll or stack? 03 Label Construction A typical label consists of a topcoat, facestock, adhesive and a liner GRAPHIC LAYERED INK Ink is laid down between the topcoat and the facestock.
