Making release liner more sustainable
The future of sustainable labels is now, and Mondi is your partner in driving this change

Challenges
The world of release liners faces pressing sustainability challenges. These liners heavily rely on virgin materials, straining resources. Inefficient recycling systems contribute to significant wastage. Despite some being technically recyclable, liners often end up incinerated. With consumer and regulatory pressure, demand for sustainable alternatives is increasing.

We're committed to sustainability, using renewable and responsibly sourced resources, integrating recycled fibres, and exploring innovative alternative coatings for our release liners.
