Ritrama enters liner recycling partnership in Chile to promote sustainable labeling

This new PET recycling option offered by Ritrama provides label printers and brand end users in the beverage, home and personal care markers with a sustainable recycling option for PET release liners once these have been used as carriers of PSA labels. The self-adhesive material manufacturer said this initiative is of clear environmental benefit as it offers cost and waste savings in the use of the end product. Its high RPET (post-consumer recycled material) content helps to reduce carbon footprints.

Ritrama Chile will propose the PET recycling option to all its customers. The technology developed can be implemented in other geographical areas.  The collection of the waste material is arranged through local waste disposal services by means of their usual boxes and carrier facilities.

Ritrama added that increased awareness among consumers regarding the impact of everyday items on the environment has led to a greater need for greener packaging options to sustain a healthier future. Ritrama Group considers environmental policies an essential part of its sustainable development and is committed to continually implement these in all it does. The development in Chile is an important step in the group’s commitment to further promote initiatives towards a more sustainable labeling process through its worldwide production and distribution network.
