Show Me Sustainability

Fasson Roll North America featured quite a bit in its EcoFriendly® portfolio of products. It showcased pressure-sensitive labeling mate-rial made from renewable resources such as “tree-free” facestocks that use cotton liners, bamboo, and bagasse, which is the biomass that remains after sugarcane or sorghum stalks are crushed to extract juice. Kudos to Fasson for using bagasse for its facestocks, since the sugar-cane plant grows rapidily and is annually renewable. The company also introduced eco-friendly prime papers. Fasson says that its post-consumer waste products are designed to reduce landfill loads and maximize forest conservation. They also offer eco-friendly brown liners, which can be recycled.
