UPM Raflatac receives recyclability credentials for shrink sleeve film labels
UPM Raflatac has received Critical Guidance recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) for its RafShrink PO MDO 40 LS and RafShrink PO TDO 45 HS shrink sleeve film label products.
The recognition confirms that the undecorated shrink sleeve films are compatible with recycling and meet or exceed requirements stated in APR’s Critical Guidance Document, established for improving the quality of post-consumer plastics entering recycling.
Shrink sleeve films are a rapidly growing method for labelling which open up new possibilities for package design, shape and 360° decoration.
