Sustainable plastic labels

Forest Film

With Forest Film, UPM Raflatac introduces a material for sustainable plastic labels. Forest Film is made from 100% renewable wood-based raw materials in an ISCC-certified value chain and enables the gradual replacement of fossil-based film materials – without compromising on benefits and performance. The material was developed in collaboration with UPM Biofuels and is based on the innovative UPM BioVerno Naphtha – a fully wood-based solution from sustainably managed forests. In this process, a residual material from pulp production, so-called crude tall oil, is made usable. This is used to produce UPM BioVerno – the base material for Forest Film. The material is thus a holistically sustainable alternative to plastics and embodies UPM Raflatac‘s mission to replace non-renewable materials with renewable and recyclable alternatives.
