UPM Raflatac has set a new labelling industry standard by embedding product footprint data directly into customer quotes. These product footprints, known as product passport prototypes (PPPs), provide label converters with transparent environmental data, helping them to make informed material choices and to reduce Scope 3 emissions* at source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The PPPs are automatically linked to UPM Raflatac quote documents, giving its customers a full assessment of their label material\u2019s environmental impact. Each PPP offers an array of environmental metrics over the entire lifecycle of the label, enabling converters to assess and minimize their footprint, even at the early purchasing stage. With raw materials accounting for 70\u201390% of converters\u2019 total environmental impact, access to real-time footprint data is critical for helping them make more sustainable decisions. PPPs also give converters a competitive edge by helping them respond quickly to customer inquiries about sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe new feature is a game-changer for how we evaluate sustainable performance of materials and make better, more informed choices on the right environmental selection for our customers and our vision of No Waste,\u201d says Jason Fuller<\/strong>, Procurement Category Manager of COVERIS, a leading European packaging company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As corporate sustainability regulations tighten, access to comprehensive environmental data is more crucial than ever. The\u00a0Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)\u00a0will soon require certain products sold in the EU to include a digital product passport (DPP). This makes the introduction by UPM Raflatac even more timely. The PPPs featured in quotes are generated by UPM Raflatac\u2019s LCA service\u00a0Label Life, which has been\u00a0externally validated by DEKRA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe PPPs already cover over 90% of UPM Raflatac\u2019s label products by sales volume globally. We are proud to offer this exclusive service in our customer quotes as the first player in the labelling industry,\u201d says Flora D\u2019Souza<\/strong>, Manager, Label Life, UPM Raflatac.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" UPM Raflatac has set a new labelling industry standard by embedding product footprint data directly into customer quotes.
