Sustainable Materials in Label Production: Paving the Way for a Greener Future
As businesses increasingly embrace sustainability, the materials used in packaging and point-of-sale (POS) displays are under the spotlight. At Customark, we believe that every label and POS material is an opportunity to reduce environmental impact while maintaining quality and functionality. From biodegradable films to compostable papers and recyclable substrates, sustainable materials are transforming the way brands communicate with their customers.
Biodegradable Sustainable Labels
Breaking Down Without a Trace
Biodegradable labels are designed to naturally decompose over time, reducing the burden on landfills. Made from plant-based films or starch polymers, these labels break down when exposed to soil or composting conditions, leaving minimal residue behind. For brands that value eco-conscious messaging, biodegradable labels provide a tangible demonstration of commitment to sustainability, all while maintaining the print clarity and durability customers expect.
Compostable Sustainable Materials
Turning Waste into Nourishment
Compostable labels and POS materials take sustainability a step further by returning nutrients to the earth. Certified compostable substrates meet strict industrial composting standards, ensuring they degrade fully within a defined time frame. These materials are perfect for food and beverage products, cosmetics, and other items where eco-friendly messaging is an essential part of brand identity. By choosing compostable labels, businesses not only reduce waste but also reinforce their dedication to environmental stewardship.
Recyclable Labels and POS Materials
Closing the Loop
Recyclable labels and POS materials help brands contribute to the circular economy. These materials are designed to be processed alongside other recyclable packaging, reducing reliance on virgin materials and minimising landfill contributions. With options ranging from recyclable papers to PET and PP films, businesses can match sustainability with their product’s specific requirements. Additionally, recyclable materials often integrate seamlessly with existing printing and finishing technologies, ensuring that sustainability doesn’t compromise quality or aesthetics.
