Release Liners: A Commentary

Commentary: Cindy White

A popular book a few years ago was “Who Moved My Cheese?” It told the story of how difficult it is to get people to change. Today, CRG, like the characters in “Who Moved My Cheese,” is challenged by the lack of response from manufacturers, converters, and end users of p-s label stock. No one wants to stop 30,000 truckloads of liner waste—more than half of which comes from p-s roll stock—from going into North American landfills every year. It requires too much CHANGE! Wal-Mart’s new sustainability index may trouble some, but, frankly, I welcome it. If people will not change on their own, for the good of the planet, then people need to have sustainable practices imposed on them—future generations deserve it!
