The Review - Recycling & Responsible Packaging

We have launched a revolutionary pilot scheme to recycle our customers self adhesive label backing paper.

The backing paper is a waste by product, after label application, and typically accounts for 30 - 40% of the total weight of a self adhesive label product. At present this waste goes to landfill and we estimate this amounts to 30,000 Tonnes in the UK per annum.

Conscious of our carbon footprint reduction initiatives we will collect this waste from our customers when we deliver labels so we can utilise our existing transport infrastructure.

Our recycling centre will process this waste so it can be sent to a paper reprocessor to be converted back to pulp.

The Paragon recycling centre also handles our manufacturing waste and supplier packaging, ensuring we minimise our operational impact on the environment.

The Paragon recycling centre is the first of its kind to be introduced in the packaging industry and underlines our commitment to the environment. ‘Leading and learning’
