Focus on Sustainability
Label Craft is part of the Asteria Group who, at large, proudly boast a wide range of sustainable raw materials at its disposal. Moreover, as a group we monitor and follow ecological market developments and proactively search for innovative, sustainable materials together. The last year for us has been a focus on sustainability in our operations and attention to our high standards of quality control and production.
Reduction
- The use of thinner raw materials has many advantages. Logically, less raw material is needed. This results in 16% more labels per roll, 13% fewer roll changes and up to 25% less waste. Moreover, these materials take up less space, thus saving on storage and transport.
- By using thinner raw materials production is more productive, cost-effective, and sustainable than when using conventional raw materials.
Reliable Resources
- The Asteria Group has a strict purchasing policy for all our raw materials. You can opt for materials made from recycled sources (in whole or in part). Whether paper, cardboard, or plastic.
- We offer RPE (made from 30% recycled PE), RPP (made from recycled PP waste) and RMC (made from recycled paper waste).
- Materials manufactured from (wholly or partly) alternative sources, such as sugar cane or grass, can be an option
- On a day-to-day basis, we have bio-based PE, made from sugar cane ethanol instead of fossil raw materials, and bio-based PP, made from non-fossil raw materials, such as vegetable oils in stock.
Biodegradable Options
- We can offer raw materials that consist of recycled material or are even fully biodegradable or compostable.
- By using such packaging materials, you offer the end consumer an extra service. Recycling is no longer necessary; these materials break down by themselves. A beautiful example are our biodegradable coffee cups.
Water washable glues.
- Water-washable glues ensure that the packaging and the label can be separated. Your packaging material is then completely clean and can simply be reused.
The direction taken by packaging companies is more geared towards a design model that makes production processes more sustainable and in line with the logic of circularity.
