Polypropylene (PP) has an established recycling stream and has been recycled for many years now – recycled PP has a value in the markets and can have a second and more lives. „In Europe, more than 682 mio m2 of self-adhesive material is used, mainly PVC, of which 41% has been processed in short-term promotions, explains Hekkema. So there is a lot of potential for PVC-free alternatives!
In addition to its recyclability, PP graphic films have another benefit – they have a lower carbon footprint than PVC. Our Rayoart BOPP Graphics films offer a significant lower environmental impact versus PVC films. The overall carbon footprint is about 50% lower than PVC and can be further reduced by using renewable PPâ€, Also the water consumption of the material is about 50% lower.
