What are you doing to develop a more sustainable paper supply?
Our goal in 2025 is to have 70% of our paper sourcing FSC certified, which is the highest standard of paper certification. We have made a lot of progress in the last few years. In Europe, 66% of the paper that we supply is already FSC certified.
How do you help apparel companies become more sustainable?
Our role in the packaging area is to help apparel brands enhance their brand or provide information about the types of clothes or the origins of the clothes. We offer them recycled labels made from recycled water and soda bottles.
“We are using materials science to make more sustainable products.”
Dean A. Scarborough, Chairman and CEO, Avery Dennison
What other innovations have you introduced?
Our CleanFlake™ technology makes sure that the labels and adhesives on PET bottles cleanly separate from the plastic during the recycling process. That means the PET can then be used to make bottles again
