Understanding how a label can impact the green credentials of your supplement can be very difficult.

Did you know that much of the plastic used in supplement manufacture ends up in landfill, even though the packaging was recyclable, because the label and the tub together are a mixed plastic that cannot be recycled? Many brands have no idea that their label choice is sending all of their packaging to landfill. Even the size of the label can send a tub to landfill- a large label means the sorting machines cannot properly scan the tub to deduce what type of plastic it is made from.

The staff at VMS have conducted extensive research to evaluate the impact of varying label substrates and glues, to consider the impact of each possible combination. If you would like to ensure your product packaging actually makes it to the recycling centre, reach out today to discuss how we can be of help.
