Join us to close the loop on liner & matrix.

Every self-adhesive label generates two waste streams: the release liner and the matrix surrounding the die-cut label. CELAB Europe brings together all companies from across the value chain to develop practical recycling solutions that help turn both waste streams into valuable resources. Become a member today by completing the online application form below.
