Reduce Costs and Waste by Choosing Repurposed Packaging Materials

Path To Sustainability: Repurposed

♻️ From Ocean Waste to Premium Packaging: The Power of Repurposed Film

The future of sustainable packaging doesn’t stop at reducing waste—it’s about reclaiming it. Across coastlines and landfills, plastic film waste poses an environmental threat. At Labelink, we’re changing that narrative by supporting repurposed packaging materials made from ocean-bound and post-consumer recycled content—chemically recycled and reengineered into high-performance film that rivals virgin plastic.

♻️ What Does “Repurposed” Really Mean?

Repurposed packaging is made from materials that were already used—but given a second life through innovative recycling. Whether it’s plastic film collected near oceans or waste recovered through municipal recycling programs, these materials are:

Transformed through chemical recycling into pure, usable resins
Re-engineered into film and label stock with performance comparable to virgin materials
Reintroduced into the packaging supply chain—supporting a true circular economy

This is not downcycled or degraded plastic. It’s rebuilt for performance—ready to protect, label, and market your product while protecting the planet.

Packaging Materials with a Story

Ocean-Bound Film

Plastic material is collected within 50 kilometers of coastlines where formal waste collection is lacking. Instead of polluting the ocean, these materials are:

Chemically purified using solvent recovery or depolymerization
Broken down to base polymers and reformed into new, clean film
Used in pressure-sensitive label materials

repurposed film sourced from ocean shores

Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Content

Repurposed content includes plastics from household and industrial recycling programs as well as paper labels that were repulped after application to paper packaging materials.

This PCR material is:

Cleaned, sorted, and processed to meet performance standards
Chemically or mechanically reprocessed into durable, high-quality substrates
Used in packaging applications without sacrificing form, function, or appearance

We Help You Test for Success

Not sure if thinner materials will work for your application? We’re here to help. Our team provides testing and validation support to ensure your packaging performs as expected — before you commit.
