Beontag, a global manufacturer of pressure sensitive adhesives materials and RFID and NFC smart tags, has released the comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results of their linerless solution, marking a step forward for the company, and their clients’ ESG goals. Beontag’s linerless solution not only reduces material inputs but also waste, enabling progress in packaging-related environmental performance.
The main distinction between a regular label and linerless VIP label lies in the absence of a liner, which reduces the PSA layers – the conventional version has four layers while Linerless VIP labels has only three. Since the layer discarded during use (liner) is absent, it minimizes waste generation. Without this layer, it's also possible to provide more PSA meters per roll.
Linerless VIP labels present an outstanding achievement in sustainability. Through a comprehensive LCA adhering to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards, Linerless solution showcases:
"In our pursuit of sustainability and commitment to innovation, linerless solution marks another significant milestone. Our rigorous Life Cycle Assessment confirms the solution results in a 35% lower carbon footprint and 38% less post-consumer waste. By embracing innovation and efficiency, we can all move towards a more sustainable future," says Ricardo Lobo, CEO of Beontag.

Linerless VIP labels present an outstanding achievement in sustainability. Through a comprehensive LCA adhering to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards, Linerless solution showcases:
- Impressive 35% carbon footprint reduction compared to a product with the liner of the same application, with benefits across every phase of its life cycle.
- By eliminating the need for a liner, Linerless VIP labels achieve a significant 38% reduction in post-consumer waste during its end-of-life stage, quantified based on the weight of post-consumer waste per square meter.
- Linerless VIP Label LCA results have gone through a third-party verification and a type III Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) issued in accordance with ISO 14025.
