Global Label Associations Unite on Sustainability
Measures that global label associations, suppliers, and converters are already targeting include:
• Promoting environmental standards, such as the TLMI L.I.F.E. (Label Initiative for the Environment) Certification Program, that mandate accreditation by third-party auditors;
• Enhancing measures to inform, educate, and support narrow-web converters in meeting current and future environmental and sustainability targets;
• Supporting the use of materials and standards that encourage sustainable and renewable resources;
• Continuing industry development of solutions to maximize cost-effective recovery and recycling of pressure-sensitive labelstock waste;
• Highlighting the development and use of thinner, lighter label materials;
• Working towards further reduction in the amount of landfill waste and higher recovery and recycling rates; and
• Having a more prominent industry voice and input into global government, brand owner, packaging, and related organizations that are currently impacting environmental and sustainability issues relating to labels and label utilization.
