Show Me Sustainability

UPM Raflatac presented a new service called RafCycle™, which involves collecting waste from label printers to be used to produce UPM ProFi™. This wood-plastic composite is a tough, humidity-resistant material designed for extrusion- and intrusion-molded products such as decking, reusable containers, pallets, and flooring. This is a great example of a company fulfilling a social need, while creating a smart and innovative business strategy. UPM says it is opening its second wood-plastic composite factory in Europe and will soon introduce UPM ProFi™ and RafCycle™ to the North American market.
