Are Primera labels recyclable? Is Primera ink recyclable?
Labels:
The adhesives used with our labels are NOT recyclable. Therefore, the labels are not recyclable since the adhesive cannot be separated. If you want your package to be recyclable, direct the consumer to remove the label first before putting it in the recycle bin. Ideally, the label should be removed easily. Please test this with your specific packaging. Synthetic labels such as Matte BOPP or Extreme Poly will be more easily removed from packaging. Paper labels such as Premium Gloss may separate into multiple pieces and be more difficult to remove.
Empty Ink Cartridges:
Primera no longer offers an ink recycling program. Check with your local county/city for their recommendations. Many counties have a central drop-off location or will recommend local electronics, office or discount retailers where you can drop off ink cartridges for free.
