We collect our customers’ back liner, when possible, to reuse the pulp and recycle it into new labels, magazines, or the like. And of course free of any extra costs.

Wherever possible, our materials come from suppliers who are FSC® certified. In this way, you can be sure that our paper materials come from responsible forestry. Optimum Group Nordic is certified with the license code FSC®-C144652.

Labels can be produced on standard recycled paper (30% recycled paper), but we also offer printing on paper made with residual waste from apple, barley, or grape production.

We offer foil partially based on recycled plastic, either 'post industrial' or 'post consumer', depending on whether it needs to be approved for direct food contact.

We’ve invested in specific production equipment that makes it profitable to design the label as part of the foil, instead of sticking it on the foil afterwards on small and medium editions (500-20.000 running meter). As such we can spare the climate of another label, make the plastic easier to recycle, and at the same time offer you more label room for design and information.

One thing is the materials, another is the design. And here we can help you rethink your design solutions to reduce the amount of materials.

We’ll help you create label solutions where all parts can be waste sorted for recycling. Even without disassembling the various parts.

SEDEX is our collaboration platform, which enables us to share CSR information with our customers and other partners.

We have strengthened our sustainable profile, and in 2024 we achieved a bronze medal from EcoVadis for our efforts in 2023.

Optimum Group Nordic offers to calculate the CO2 footprint of your labels. The footprint is calculated on the consumption of substrates for your orders.
