Lintec Europe joins label recycling consortium CELAB-Europe

CELAB-Europe, launched in October 2020 by Finat, is the European branch of CELAB, a broader, global, self-adhesive industry initiative.

Lintec joins with more than 20 other leading European companies, representing the label value chain, including raw material producers, labelstock producers, and label companies. The consortium aims to develop a sustainable and circular business model for over 75 percent of used liner and matrix materials in Europe by 2025. 

It aims to do this by analyzing technical issues, promoting recycling networks, interacting with government regulators, and educating the industry and public in different markets. 

‘Sustainability has always been a key driver behind Lintec's brand and product development. We're proud to support this sustainability initiative, working with key players throughout the label value chain,’ commented Andy Voss, managing director of Lintec Europe. ‘Being part of such a pioneering project gives us the opportunity to collectively make a significant difference towards achieving better recycling and, ultimately, a more circular economy.’
