Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
Labels, like many forms of packaging, can have short lifespans. This makes it more imperative to consider the sustainability of the materials you use for your label business.
For Plastics Suppliers, Inc., sustainability is right in the name of one of its most popular products: EarthFirst. EarthFirst films are made from annually renewable plant resources and are compostable to the ASTM D6400 and DIN EN 13432 standards. They also help to save energy. The company claims that using 100 pounds of EarthFirst film saves enough energy to run a 100-watt lightbulb for eight months. The films are made using the carbon neutral polymer Ingeo™, which can be made from a wide variety of plants, not just corn. It can be made from sugar beets, switchgrass, or sugarcane.
