UPM Raflatac is collaborating with Sabic, a world leader in the chemical industry, for the first polypropylene (PP) label film made from post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR) on the market (on a mass balance basis). Now available globally, this label material uses Sabic's Trucircle ™ solutions for certified circular PP products.
UPM Raflatac PP PCR Clear & White products are manufactured using chemical recycling technology that uses a mass balance approach to deliver virgin resin raw material. With the same properties as standard PP films, these PP PCR films can be used in a variety of label applications including rigid food packaging.
"We are happy to be involved in the shift of our industry towards more circular solutions and this innovative product is the first of its kind available on the market." He says Antti Jääskeläinen, Executive Vice President of UPM Raflatac.
