Avery Dennison wins 2024 MHI award for sustainability

Avery Dennison has received MHI award for Best New Innovation in Sustainability for its logistics grade linerless labels. MHI is a material handling, logistics and supply chain trade association. The award was presented by MHI CEO, John Paxton, during Modex 2024 supply chain experience event. 

Avery Dennison’s linerless labels have a positive impact on a logistics operation’s productivity, efficiency, safety and carbon footprint. According to the Carbon Trust Footprint, switching from a direct thermal liner product to Avery Dennison's direct thermal linerless solution results in a 49 percent reduction in carbon and a 34 percent reduction in water usage.
 
The solution supports organizations committed to tackling Scope 3 emissions, while advancing their decarbonization and sustainability journey.
 
Paxton said: ‘The logistics grade linerless labels from Avery Dennison are a true innovation that can have a significant positive impact on operational efficiency and sustainability.’ 
 
Colleen Costello, senior manager, label solutions, Avery Dennison, added: ‘Sustainability is ingrained in everything we do as a business. A key part of this is helping our clients identify ways to operate in a more environmentally responsible manner and progress to reach their respective sustainability goals. We are thrilled the MHI award judges recognize our deep commitment to both innovation and sustainability in an ever-evolving business world.’
 
The award win was followed by the launch of Avery Dennson’s 2023 Integrated Sustainability and Annual Report, which presents highlights of the company's performance and progress against its 2025 and 2030 sustainability goals.
