MASON, Ohio—Spear has added a liner recycling process—in partnership with Mitsubishi—to its Spear Earth global corporate environmental leadership program. Release liner represents approximately 30 percent of Spear's product. Traditionally, this has been landfilled, a practice that Spear believes is not sustainable in today's industry. Mitsubishi Polyester Films, one of the largest PET film release producers, has developed a solution—Reprocess™, a technology that allows cradle-to-cradle recycling of spent liner into new, quality liner.
