Recycled Labels - What are recycled labels?

Definition of RECYCLED LABEL:

Labels that are produced using paper that is partially or entirely recycled; this may be the face material only or both the face material and the backing sheet. The percentage of recycled material used will vary from product to product; manufacturers commonly mark their products with symbols or logos to indicate that their products meet the minimum content and manufacturing requirements of a particular international or local standard determined by a relevant organisation. Recycled labels are usually chosen when a company or individual wants to ensure that they use products that are made from sustainable materials and manufactured according to environmentally friendly guidelines.
