AWA publishes guide to PS waste recycling

AWA Alexander Watson Associates has published a guide to management and recycling options for the pressure-sensitive label waste stream. 

The ‘Pressure-sensitive Label Waste Management Report’ covers all aspects of pressure-sensitive label waste and sets out the options available – material downgauging, linerless labels, coating, laminating and printing labelstock in one machine pass, cradle-to-cradle recycling for reuse, and recycling for alternative uses.  

The status quo of legislation around the world and change drivers and barriers are all discussed, as a prologue to identifying the physical problems around collection of label waste, and defining where the ownership of instigating such collection should reside.

The study concludes with an up-to-the-minute review of companies globally who are offering waste management solutions of all kinds for users of pressure-sensitive labels.

The report is available to order via the AWA Alexander Watson Associates website.
