At last, I may have found a solution to the problem of recycling label release paper! Most paper mills and recycling companies won’t take it because of the shiny coating (see this post). But I recently spoke to Berkshire labels again (I contacted them before about biodegradable labels, see this post) and they told me that they could help. They’ve found a company that turns label release paper into paper towels for hand drying. So if they were to supply us with labels, Berkshire labels would be willing to collect any waste release paper from us and send it on to be recycled. If all our label release paper could be recycled, this would be a big step towards becoming a zero waste to landfill site as this material is fast becoming our biggest source of waste.
