Spear, Mitsubishi Partner for Environmental Sustainability

Spear has long been at the forefront of environmental leadership in the label industry. Its global corporate program, Spear Earth, encompasses numerous environmental initiatives, the latest of which is a liner recycling process in partnership with Mitsubishi.

Release liner represents approximately 30 percent of Spear’s product. Traditionally, this has been landfilled, a practice that is simply not sustainable in today’s industry. Mitsubishi Polyester Films, one of the largest PET film release producers, has developed a solution. “Reprocess™” is a technology that allows cradle-to-cradle recycling of spent liner into new, quality liner.
