Easitill and Floralabels – Working towards a sustainable future.
We all want a cleaner, more environmentally friendly and sustainable future both for ourselves and generations to come. Part of this push for a much greener way of life means that all the products we use are under the microscope. How can we leave less behind, and how can we tread more lightly when it comes to our impact?
Easitill and Floralabels, have examined their impact and the impact of it’s customers and have brought to market a variety of labels, self-ties, stick-ins, signs, adhesives and banners that significantly reduce environmental impact and boost green credentials. In fact, they have 70 varieties of labels and stickers with over 80% of their consisting of the L1 material, which has proved very popular amongst our customers.
Floralabels are constantly researching and developing innovative ways to create sustainable labels and stickers that serve a purpose well, but don’t create a problem that is around for years to come. Many of their labels are recyclable or biodegradable in landfill and feature materials derived from plants and recycled materials. Amongst this, they include innovative technologies to help protect the environment and reduce wastage.
Here’s are some of the benefits and features of the label:

The L1 labels biodegrade in typical landfills
The L1 labels biodegrade in landfills after use and not before.
They break down into components such as carbon dioxide and
water when placed in an oxygen-free environment containing
microbes, which is typically found in landfills.
Until then – during use – they have the same great characteristics in terms of printability, handling and durability as our normal L1 sustainable labels.
