Ocean Action Recycled PP
Labels Made from Certified Circular Ocean Bound Plastic
At the GREEN LABEL company, we’re constantly seeking new ways to reduce environmental impact through innovative labelling materials. We’re excited to introduce a new sustainable label option made from certified circular polypropylene derived from ocean bound plastic – a ground-breaking step towards cleaner oceans and a circular plastics economy.
Developed through a unique collaboration between SABIC and UPM Raflatac, this material transforms plastic waste at risk of ending up in our oceans into high-quality label film – giving it a new life and a meaningful purpose.
What Is Ocean Bound Plastic?
Ocean bound plastic refers to plastic waste collected from areas within 50km of coastlines that lack effective waste management systems – areas where waste is most at risk of entering the marine environment. By recovering and recycling this plastic before it reaches the ocean, we help prevent pollution at its source.
Using an advanced recycling process, the collected plastic is broken down and reprocessed into certified circular polypropylene (PP). This is then used to create a label material that looks, feels, and performs like virgin plastic – but with a dramatically reduced environmental footprint.
Key Benefits of Ocean Bound Plastic Labels:
♻️ Made from recycled ocean bound plastic – reducing marine pollution
✅ ISCC PLUS certified – ensures traceability and environmental credibility
🌍 Supports a circular plastics economy – giving value to recovered waste
🧴 Durable, high-performance PP film – suitable for a wide range of products
🖨️ Compatible with all standard printing processes – digital, flexo and more
💧 Resistant to water, oils and chemicals – perfect for food, drink, cosmetics and more
🔁 Fully recyclable – when paired with appropriate liners and adhesives
Who Is It For?
This innovative material is ideal for:
Brands looking to reduce plastic pollution and support ocean clean-up initiatives
Companies with sustainability targets or environmental pledges
Eco-conscious product ranges in food, drink, health & beauty, and household sectors
Packaging that needs to balance visual appeal, durability, and responsible sourcing
A Sustainable Label That Tells a Story
By choosing labels made from certified circular ocean bound plastic, you’re not only making a more sustainable packaging choice – you’re helping drive change at the source of plastic pollution. It’s a small label with a big message.
