These labels are expected to replace traditional fossil-based options without compromising quality or performance.

In addition, UPM Raflatac showcased: UPM Raflatac Forest Film, a unique 100 percent wood-based plastic face material that’s ISCC PLUS-certified bio-circular on a mass-balance basis; UPM Raflatac Ocean Action, the ISCC Plus-certified label material designed to combat ocean-bound plastic pollution; UPM Raflatac RAFNXT+, a labeling material verified by the Carbon Trust to reduce carbon footprint and help mitigate climate change.

Finally, UPM Raflatac spotlighted the RafCycle Partner Program enabling converters to offer to their customers’ label release liner collection and recycling services.
