New recycled PET labels from Royston Labels

UK-based Royston Labels now offers clear, recycled PET labels that have been manufactured using a minimum of 80 percent post-consumer waste (empty packaging that has been discarded by the consumer after use).

Developed in conjunction with M&H Plastics, this new material helps to reduce reliance on non-renewable resources and provides benefits for both manufacturers and retailers, who can now offer a recycled product to the market. The product reduces the amount of ‘virgin’ material used, and therefore helps meet packaging waste targets. The labels are claimed to have the same performance levels as non recycled labels and can be used in a wide range of applications including food, beverage and personal care, particularly pertinent where the recycled aspect is aligned with the brand image.    

Paul Clayton, managing director of Royston Labels, said: ‘We are constantly searching for products that are going to help us and our customers to reduce their impact on the environment, whether this is recycled, recyclable, biodegradable or simply thinner materials. There is an ever increasing consumer awareness of the effect that we are all having on the environment. We believe that the new material will offer significant commercial benefits to our customers as well as enhancing their “green” credentials in the wider market place.’
