For those of you outside of the industry I should explain that traditionally, label liner recycling programs require a complex process of collection and sorting, which can be a deterrent for companies who want to recycle, and therefore as part of our goal to eliminate 70 percent of liner and matrix waste from our value chain by 2025, we are building a network of recyclers to help converters and brands reduce and reuse label waste.
Through this program, label liner is collected for recycling, saving on waste disposal costs and preventing environmental impact from landfill or incineration.
And the results are really encouraging. Since joining the program, By-Health has diverted over 100 metric tons of release glassine liner from landfills into recycled products, such as corrugated boxes, through recycling partner Taiwan based Yuen Foong Yu Group.
