The re-use of recovered wood fibres in label and graphic paper products is a closed-loop solution and a shining example of sustainability at its best.” — Carol Kilcullen-Lawrence, sustainability consultant to UPM Raflatac.
full closed loop,” Kilcullen-Lawrence says, noting that this is an important step as Australia moves to meet the 2025 National Packaging Targets, in which all packaging has to be recy- clable, reusable or compostable by that date. And this ties in with UPM’s ambition to support a circular econ- omy globally and here in Australia.
While it can be argued that shipping liner waste offshore to be recycled is ‘emissions intensive’, Kilcullen- Lawrence tells PKN that recycling the label liner, including transport over- seas, is still 12-18 per cent less CO2e emissions intensive compared to landfilling it in Australia, where unfortunately a significant quantity is still currently disposed of.
With RafCycle now finding trac- tion in Australia, UPM Raflatac is enabling converters and end users to reduce waste disposal costs, meet regulatory requirements, achieve landfill reduction and reduce their overall environmental footprint. And that’s progress in anybody’s book. ■
