Avery Dennison Introduces New Recycled Content Solutions Avery Dennison Label and Packaging Materials is high- lighting new, sustainable solutions for wine labels. These include the introduction of 30 percent PCW versions of three classic facestocks, and a new program designed to help northern California winemakers and label converters recycle their PET liner waste. Estate 8, Estate 17 Martele, and Bright White Felt are among the most coveted wine-label facestocks, accord- ing to the company. Now, as consumer trends drive the wine industry to find more sustainable packaging solu- tions, designers can choose 30 percent PCW versions of these facestocks from the Avery Dennison Wine and Spirits Portfolio. The addition of 30 percent PCW Estate 8, Estate 17 Mar- tele, and Bright White Felt means the Portfolio now offers 13 facestocks with PCW content. Meanwhile, more than 95 percent of label materials in the Portfolio now meet the Avery Dennison Sustainable ADvantage standards. To achieve these standards, a label must either be made with less raw material, enable recycling or composting, contain recycled content, or be responsibly sourced. Avery Dennison is offering an additional solution to help increase PET liner recycling rates in northern California. As part of its AD Circular program, Avery Dennison is offering
to collect liner waste from label converters and wineries in Napa Valley and surrounding areas. Those customers can drop off their liner waste at the Avery Dennison Napa distribution center. The company will accumulate waste until reaching a full truckload—which is more economical to recycle—and then deliver it to qualified recyclers. Yerecic Label Earns SGP Certification Yerecic Label, New Kensington, Pennsylvania, has earned accreditation by the Sustainable Green Printing (SGP) Partnership. SGP is a non-profit organization that certifies printing facilities for their sustainability best practices, ex- tending beyond regulatory compliance. Yerecic Label’s certification reflects its dedication to environmental stewardship and social responsibility at its Pittsburgh facility, with intentions to apply for certification of its Phoenix facility in the near future as SGP certifies printing facilities independently of one another. To attain SGP certification, Yerecic Label underwent a rigorous evaluation process, including an independent third-party audit aligning with SGP’s criteria. This encompasses various aspects such as environ- mental, health, and safety compliance, continuous im- provement initiatives, and stakeholder communication.
