Labelmakers Group has an industry leading sustainability agenda led by our Group Environment & Sustainability Manager. With a strong research and development capability based in Melbourne, our team captures materials development and sustainable label design
Since 2019 we have implemented 3 major recycling initiatives to mitigate our waste from going to landfill.
3 Major Recycling Initatives
National Glassine Liner Recycling Program
Corflute Recycling
Labelmakers engineered a solution, integrated into the label converting process, that effectively separates the disparate components of the matrix waste.
Through close collaboration with Labelmakers, our recycling partner developed a means of capturing and treating the sticky matrix material and reusing it through their Recycling facility.
In finding a solution for the problematic PP matrix scrap we are very proud to say that the waste from our main raw material is now prevented from going to landfill.
Fibre Egg Cartons
Labelmakers Group and Huhtamaki joint recycling initiative in Victoria that aims to recover and recycle up to 450 tonnes of paper waste each year.
This paper waste is now a primary feedstock for Huhtamaki’s 100% Australian-made fibre egg cartons.
Labelmakers has a local partner to upcycle paper waste into an environmentally friendly packaging solution for fibre cartons and trays.
