The Growing Demand for Sustainable Labels

As environmental awareness grows; more businesses are prioritising sustainability. Customers are seeking eco-friendly alternatives to traditional materials, and regulatory bodies are enforcing stricter guidelines on packaging waste.

At Baker Materials, we’ve seen a surge in demand for recyclable materials, adhesives, and liners made from recycled content. Companies are moving away from traditional plastics and opting for FSC-certified papers, and materials that improve recyclability.

Many industries are striving to become more sustainable

Whether by using recyclable materials, ordering only what they need to reduce waste, or changing their product packaging, two industries in particular have focused on improving recyclability:

The Cosmetic Industry

Recyclable materials have become a strong contender in the cosmetic industry, particularly for brands that convey the importance of making environmental changes and being cruelty-free. Choosing recyclable label  materials helps these brands empower consumers to support the planet.

The Food Industry

The food industry, particularly organic brands, is another sector making the switch. As organic foods grow in popularity, brands are using recyclable materials to make it easier for consumers to support the planet.

Why Switch to Eco-Friendly Labels?

Making the switch to sustainable materials has significant environmental and business benefits:

Regulatory Compliance: Many industries are required to meet sustainability standards, and our materials help businesses stay ahead of evolving regulations.
• Enhanced Brand Reputation: Customers value sustainability, and eco-friendly packaging can strengthen brand loyalty.

Can't make the switch to recyclable labels?

Even if switching to sustainable materials isn’t feasible, businesses can still make a positive impact by ordering only what they need instead of bulk purchasing, which can lead to excess waste. This approach reduces material waste and ensures responsible resource management. Order with us to get exactly what you need. We also have our premium off-cut list for you to purchase from, perfect for a short run order.

When you enquire with us, we’ll guide you in the right direction by understanding the products’ application and matching it with the best materials for their needs.
