Case
Recycled labels
We collaborated with Crea Green to produce recycled labels for pot plant grower Van der Salm. By using our new technology, a maximum of 80% of the virgin PP used has been replaced by PP recyclate.
Opdrachtgever: Crea Green for Van der Salm
Opdracht: Co-extrusion labels
- Horticulture
The graphics industry is currently still using a lot of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) which involves using a lot of chlorine during production which is harmful to the environment.
By using our new technology, we have been able to replace a maximum of 80% of the virgin PP used with PP recyclate. The quality of the products is the result of a perfect synergy between Kras Recycling, the supplier of raw materials, advanced ‘state-of-the-art’ COEX technology and the valuable expertise and teamwork of Kivo and Circular Plastics.
- 80% recycled PP is reused
- Hi-tech co-extrusion in 3 layers with 2 white outer layers and black PP on the inside
- Printing carried out using high-quality offset technology and organic inks in up to 10 colours
- Suitable for recycled labels, for example
By using PP for plant labels instead of (PVC), Van der Salm has created a monostream. Because the plant pots are already made of PP, post-selection of the mono-combination PP labels and PP pots from the waste streams is automatically suitable for recycling. A real closed loop!
