Effectively manage silicone paper waste created by your business.
Do you have waste from silicone paper, label backing paper, wax-coated paper and release paper or liners and films? The manufacturer specifically designs the sticky surfaces on these papers to prevent premature adhesion.
Historically, experts would have classified this waste stream as general waste. As a result, high percentages of the material goes directly to landfill. This results in high disposal costs because landfill taxes and frequent, high-volume transfers drive up transport charges.
Where is this waste found?
Silicone paper waste is most commonly used in various self-adhesive products, labelling and advertising. The waste produced from these specific forms of paper is dependent on the individual company utilising it. It’s most commonly presented loose or on reels.
If you have never considered silicone paper recycling, it’s likely you’re already disposing of it incorrectly. Understand your waste and recycle more effectively and efficiently.
Separation and processing
Because of their differences, recyclers cannot process it alongside regular paper and cardboard. This requires your business to manage it separately to ensure thorough, sustainable management. Many people don’t realise this, making the recycling process more difficult and lengthy further down the line.
A tailored waste management plan allows you to effectively separate your silicone paper waste for sustainable reuse and recycling. This way, the waste enters a circular economy, able to be re-purposed for manufacturing.
Packaging waste often contains silicone paper, commonly used in labelling. If your business creates large amounts of packaging waste, you should check whether this affects your management and collection.
