Making the right label choice can ensure that your PET packaging is fully recyclable, while helping build a more circular economy and supporting your broader sustainability goals.
However, rapidly changing regulations can make choosing the right label a challenge. Our experts are here to help.
On this page, we will guide you through current PET guidelines to help you discover which pressure sensitive label solutions are best for your packaging needs. You will learn how requirements vary between PET bottles and trays and how making the right labeling choice can help you comply with regulations, increase your product’s recyclability and reduce your environmental footprint.
How to choose labels for circular design throughout a package’s lifetime
Labels need to remain attached and legible for the duration of a product’s life. Conditions and duration vary from one application to the next and determine a label’s specific performance requirements. Factors to consider include the end use for the packaging; temperature and moisture level; product lifetime; food contact; printing technology; and aesthetics and branding.
To help reduce the environmental impact of packaging and comply with design for recycling guidelines, labels must be designed with circularity in mind. This can be achieved by using EcoDesign principles to create labels that enable recycling and reuse, incorporate recycled content, reduce resource consumption, and are sourced responsibly.
