Avery Dennison has responded to the label and packaging industry’s desire for greater environmental responsibility. The substrate and adhesive supplier has developed new portfolios, enhanced materials and established a list of future goals designed to make the company more sustainable–now and into the future.
Already a leader in sustainable solutions, Avery Dennison maintains multiple goals it would like to reach by 2025. The company intends to source 100% certified paper, of which 70% will be Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)–certified. The company also plans to invest in 70% of films and chemicals that minimize negative impacts on the environment.
In keeping with the motto, “Reuse, repurpose, recycle,” Avery Dennison hopes to be 95% landfill free, while eliminating 70% of matrix liner waste. This initiative begins with Avery Dennison but also includes other aspects of the supply chain.
“To be successful, we must partner with others in the industry like TLMI and APR,” explains Heather Valentino, North America sustainability manager at Avery Dennis
