It’s important for businesses to be eco-friendly with their packaging and labels for several reasons. First, using sustainable materials and practices can help to reduce the environmental impact of the business. This can include reducing the amount of waste generated, using renewable resources, and minimising the use of harmful chemicals. Additionally, eco-friendly packaging and labels can help to improve the reputation of the business and appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. It can also save cost for the company by reducing the use of non-renewable resources and energy consumption during production. Being eco-friendly with packaging and labels can be beneficial for both the environment and the business.

Biodegradable and compostable labels

Biodegradable and compostable labels are made from materials that can break down, decompose, and return to the environment in a relatively short period of time. These labels are typically made from materials such as paper, cellulose, and plant-based plastics. They are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional labels made from synthetic materials, as they do not contribute to pollution or waste in landfill.

Recyclable labels

Recyclable labels on the other hand are labels that can be recycled along with other materials. These labels are typically made form materials such as paper, metals and plastics that can be collected, processed, and returned to the manufacturing process as raw materials. Recycling labels helps to conserve resources and reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill.

Recycled labels

Recycled labels are made from materials that have been previously used and recycled. These labels can be made from a variety of materials, including paper, plastics, and metals, and they are an environmentally friendly alternative to labels made from virgin materials.

Labels from sustainable sources

Labels from sustainable sources refer to those made from materials sourced in an environmentally responsible manner. This can include using materials that are grown or harvested in a sustainable way, such as using wood from responsibly managed forests, or using materials that are produced using renewable energy sources.
