Sustainable plastic labels

Forest Film

With Forest Film™, UPM Raflatac introduces a novel 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 film materials – without compromising on benefits and performance. The material was developed in cooperation 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 in the production of UPM BioVerno – the Forest Film™ base material. 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.
