UPM Raflatac embraces sustainability at Labelexpo

As part of its climate calculations, Tapaus factors in the climate impacts of transports, structures, tech, catering, and waste. Tapaus then offsets the carbon footprint through high-quality climate compensation projects with reliable certifications delivered by the Tricorona company. Project examples include increasing solar and wind energy, planting trees and water filtration.    

In addition, UPM Raflatac is participating in a waste management initiative organized by TLMI and Convergen Energy in partnership with Labelexpo Americas. This initiative aims to save printed materials at Labelexpo from landfill. UPM Raflatac will deliver waste such as label stock, paper and film release liners, and matrix waste to show organizers during the expo. Convergen will collect this waste and process it to create fuel pellets, which are used as a substitute for coal.

‘We take a 360-degree sustainability approach to our business by applying the principles of reduce, recycle, renew, and reuse through responsible sourcing, sustainable operations and logistics, all the way to innovative products and services. Having the opportunity to partner with Tapaus for Labelexpo allows us to identify the potential climate impact of our booth at the event and compensate for the booth’s carbon footprint,’ commented Ashley Drew, sustainability manager for Americas at UPM Raflatac.

At UPM Raflatac’s booth 515, attendees can see the company’s latest innovations, including the Ocean Action Label and UPM Raflatac OptiCut DT Linerless. UPM Raflatac also displays many sustainable technologies, such as UPM Raflatac Forest Film, PP PCR and UPM Raflatac RAFNXT+ products certified as CarbonNeutral.
