CELAB-Europe announced the release of an interactive map on their website today which is going to list collectors and recyclers of used liner and matrix materials that are a part of the production of labels used on packaging. The launch of the interactive map is the result of the collaboration of label industry members in a joint effort to create a circular economy for labels.

CELAB (Circular Economy for Labels), a consortium representing companies throughout the self-adhesive label supply chain, today published a new white paper on challenges and opportunities facing the global recycling of film based silicone liners, a type of layer from which a label is peeled away. The analysis covers the impact of materials used in the production of film based silicone liners, the feasibility of recycling processes, and end uses for their recycled resin.

CELAB (Circular Economy for Labels), a global consortium of companies in the self-adhesive label industry, today announced members of its North America Branch (CELAB North America) Executive Board elected by the membership. Formed last year, CELAB is working to create a sustainable pressure sensitive labeling industry by increasing access to matrix and liner recycling.
