The paper used for these labels is processed chlorine-free, so they are created in a way that substantially reduces the number of harmful substances used during manufacturing. Both the labels and packaging are printed with soy-based ink derived from renewable materials. Labels are curbside recyclable with paper waste and use a recycling-compatible adhesive that won't interfere with the recycling process when adhered to a paper substrate. The packaging is also recyclable and can be disposed of with paper waste. These labels feature Easy Peel® for faster peeling and application. Just fold the sheet back to expose the label edges, peel, and apply. Please Note: Backing sheets are not recyclable and should be disposed of separately.
