Sustainability Benefits

01. Recyclability

Re*Flect offers high quality options where the direct application of plastic foil onto the cartonboard packaging is not necessary. The metallic pigments can be transferred to the board without leaving a plastic layer, which then highly facilitates its recycling.

02. Sortability

Certain countries (such as France) use infrared systems for sorting waste. Packages that are fully varnished with MET-PET don’t always get recongnised as cartonboard, meaning that they can’t enter the recycling stream. Re*Flect offers non-full-surface applications that the IR-systems have no trouble identifying as cartonboard .

03. Best-in-Class

Both Re*Flect Finesse and Re*Flect Charm can be called best in class with a CEPI recyclability rating of >80.

04. Splitting Hairs

The metallic pigment that is transferred onto the cartonboard when using Re*Flect Finesse or Re*Flect Charm is between 0,02 µm, making it >80 times thinner than a human hair. The reduced amount of non-fibrous material that is added to the board further improves the recycling stream and also saves on material costs.
