Jindal Films features sustainable label films at Labelexpo

Jindal Films, a supplier of BOPP films for labels and flexible packaging, will showcase its portfolio of Label-Lyte and Treofan IML films at Hall 3, stand 3G41, at Labelexpo Europe 2025. These films now offer externally certified recycled content, new coating technologies and multiple pathways to reduce virgin plastic consumption and carbon footprint reduction. 

Jindal Films offers a range of mechanically recycled BOPP label films with full third-party certification. These new grades provide converters and brand owners a reliable path to meet EU Green Claims, PPWR targets and growing consumer demand for genuine circularity.

The new Label-Lyte RLC M30 range incorporates 30 percent post-consumer mechanically recycled polypropylene (PCR-PP) while maintaining the high cavitated yields, whiteness and print performance converters expect. Key grades include 38RLC247M30 for reel-fed wrap-around labels and 58RLC346M30 for pressure-sensitive applications.

All grades are externally verified under the LNE MPR scheme (recognized by PolyCert Europe and European Plastics Alliance), ensuring every kilo of recycled content is traceable and credible. This empowers brands to make verifiable sustainability claims and supports the post-consumer recycling possibilities for BOPP films in Europe.

These certified mechanical recycling grades complement Jindal Films’ broader Re Range portfolio of responsible and circular films. They provide converters and brands with products that are mechanically recycled content, as verified by LNE MPR scheme for full traceability; chemically recycled BOPP, ISCC+ certified by mass balance, enabling the use of post-consumer recycled content with full food-contact approval and without compromising performance or safety; and bio-circular feedstocks, also ISCC+ certified, derived from renewable sources such as used cooking oil to reduce fossil resource use and carbon emissions.

These options contribute to driving circularity and help customers make credible, impactful progress toward sustainability targets while maintaining the performance and converting efficiency they require.

Jindal Films is also introducing the upgraded Label-Lyte LH346 coating for pressure-sensitive labels, an evolution of its 345 coating, developed to enhance its versatility through tougher storage and application demands.

The new coating maintains high-quality print surface performance while offering superior adhesive versatility for both hot melt and water-based adhesives, including better barrier resistance against hot melt adhesive migration. LH346, through extensive internal and external validation, has demonstrated robust durability with both families of adhesives (hot melt and water based emulsions), even under extreme temperature and humidity.

The LH346 grade is available now in Cavitated White Glossy, with Cavitated White Matt (LT546) and Solid White Glossy (SWL346).

In parallel, Jindal Films continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner in in-mold labelling (IML) through its Treofan IML portfolio. With more than 30 years of close collaboration across the entire IML process chain, Treofan IML has pioneered advanced grades such as ELR70, expanding IML decoration to large buckets. Now, with the upcoming Treofan IML ESR100, a robust 100µm substrate designed for ultra-large containers above 30 liters, the brand is unlocking new market segments. Additionally, the ongoing development of Treofan IML EPT80 addresses the specific demands of in-mold labelling for thermoformed containers (IML-TF), delivering improved efficiency for FFS equipment.

In line with its sustainability strategy, Jindal Films is advancing the next generation of IML films through its Treofan IML range, further strengthening its commitment to circularity and supporting customers in meeting their PPWR targets.

In addition, Jindal Films is reducing the environmental footprint of its operations by expanding the use of in-house renewable energy, such as solar power. The company is also committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) near-term climate goals, ensuring its decarbonization roadmap aligns with globally recognized standards. This group-wide approach highlights Jindal Films’ ambition to deliver credible circularity and carbon reductions across the entire value chain.
