At last year’s FTA annual meeting, TC Trancontinen- tal was recognized for the third straight year with the “Best of Show” award in the Wide Web/Process/Film category. In respect to the Enviroplast purchase,TC Continen- tal management has stated that the company wants to set itself apart by offering eco-responsible packaging products that contain recycled plastic, creating a true circular economy. Flexible plastic packaging protects the products, facilitates transportation and helps ex- tend product shelf life. “The circular economy is the way of the future,” said Sylvain Levert, Senior Vice President, Recycling Group, TC Transcontinental Packaging. “This equipment ac- quisition is part of our goal to vertically integrate the recycling of plastics into our packaging production chain in Canada, the United States, and Latin America, ultimately ensuring stable procurement of recycled resin.We are proud of this first step and are counting on the collaboration of public and private stakehold- ers to meet the plastic recycling challenge, and to pro- mote the creation in Quebec of a center of expertise in the circular economy of plastics.” UPM Raflatac Gains Sustainability Certification Self-adhesive label stock supplier UPM Raflatac has achieved sustainability certification from the In- ternational Sustainability and Carbon Certification Scheme ISCC PLUS at three of its factories and nine distribution terminals worldwide. UPM Raflatac’s ISCC PLUS certified products via mass-balance ap- proach include UPM Raflatac Forest Film and UPM Raflatac PP C-PCR. ISCC PLUS is one of the leading global sustainability certification schemes for a fully traceable supply chain to support the transition to a circular economy and bioeconomy. It allows bio-based raw materials as well as waste and residue-based feedstock for plastic labels to be certified.The ISCC PLUS certification provides a strong external proof of sustainably managed raw ma- terials and value chains for renewable and chemically recycled products. More and more companies in the self-adhesive label industry have made the commitment to transform the industry toward a circular economy, and UPM Ra- flatac’s factories in Tampere, Finland; Nowa Wies, Po- land; and Mills River, North Carolina, USA; as well as its distribution terminals with ISCC PLUS certification ensure that the whole supply chain is operating ac- cording to ISCC PLUS guidelines.
