As part of their climate calculations, event management company Tapaus factors in the climate impacts of transports, structures, tech, catering and waste. Tapaus then offsets the carbon footprint through high-quality climate compensation projects with reliable certifications delivered by the Tricorona company. UPM Raflatac will take its company-wide 360° sustainability approach one step further at Labelexpo Americas by calculating their event participation footprint, minimising waste and offsetting CO2 emissions in collaboration with Tapaus.
‘We take a 360° sustainability approach to our business by applying the principles of reduce, recycle, renew, and reuse through responsible sourcing, sustainable operations and logistics, all the way to innovative products and services. Having the opportunity to partner with Tapaus for Labelexpo allows us to identify the potential climate impact of our booth at the event and then compensate for the booth’s carbon footprint,’ stated Ashley Drew, Sustainability Manager, UPM Raflatac, Americas.
In addition, UPM Raflatac is participating in a waste management initiative organised by TLMI and Convergen Energy in partnership with Labelexpo Americas. This initiative aims to save printed materials at Labelexpo from landfill. During the expo, UPM Raflatac will be delivering waste such as label stock, paper and film release liners, and matrix waste to show organisers. Convergen will collect this waste and process it to create fuel pellets, which are used as a substitute for coal.
At UPM Raflatac’s booth, attendees will be able to see the company’s latest innovations including the Ocean Action Label and UPM Raflatac OptiCut™ DT Linerless. The company will display many of its sustainable solutions, such as UPM Raflatac Forest Film™, PP PCR and UPM Raflatac RAFNXT+ products certified as CarbonNeutral® (selected RAFNXT+ label materials are also available as CarbonNeutral® certified by Climate Impact Partners in accordance with the CarbonNeutral Protocol).
