The Industry’s Throw-Away

Don’t refuse to re-use!

In all categories of waste, there are ongoing efforts to reduce the total amount of material entering the waste stream. For release liners, it is typical to reduce the weight of the liner to the lowest possible level without causing runnability problems in converting operations. Many times, efforts to reduce release liner weight are initiated by cost reduction programs, with the effect of reducing waste levels being viewed as a secondary benefit. Obviously, efforts to reduce liner weight can only go so far.
