Two UPM Raflatac adhesives applied on paper labels received verification due to fibre yield, sheet adhesion and optical impurities.
The adhesives for office, logistics and cardboard packaging paper labels have been certified as recyclable in the paper and board-based packaging stream by the applied research and services institute Papiertechnische Stiftung (PTS) in 2023.
These adhesives are now part of UPM Raflatac’s standard Offset and Digital paper label range, providing customers with the added benefit of recycling-compatible, verified labelling solutions without requiring any product changes.
To evaluate the recyclability, PTS tested two of UPM Raflatac’s paper labels containing the referred adhesives. The labels were tested as part of the packaging material at a mass share of 10%, following the PTS-RH 021:2012 Category II methodology for evaluating the recyclability of paper and board-based packaging.
