WRAP Project MDP025 Labelling
Recommendations A new WRAP report recommends “switching from self-adhesive paper and paper laminate labels to 50 or 60 micron polypropylene synthetic labels” tested during the project. The question is how much can other sectors and products benefit from these conclusions? A consortium project team consisting of Systems Labelling a leading bottle manufacturer and a leading UK dairy brand have completed an 18 month project resulting in a groundbreaking development for the dairy industry. The WRAP funded project set out to identify the root cause of colour contamination in rHDPE pellets in order to increase the proportion of recycled material used when producing HDPE liquid milk bottles. In short the project consortium identified that synthetic (polyproplylene) adhesive labels outperformed the paper alternatives tested in terms of recycling benefits. This conclusion is backed with analytical data showing that in terms of label removal, colour contamination and recyclability the synthetic adhesive labels tested are far superior to the paper adhesive labels tested.
