Lecta Self-Adhesives, known by the Adestor brand name and one of the
leading European companies in self-adhesive label materials, welcomes SOPREMA as a new partner in its Adestor Collect & Recycle program, designed to encourage the
collection and recycling of the glassine paper used in self-adhesive labelling applications.
Present in more than 120 countries, SOPREMA develops solutions for the building industry based on recycled materials. The company integrates glassine paper as a
raw material into innovative products such as its bio-sustainable thermal insulation solutions.
The incorporation of SOPREMA reinforces Adestor's Collect &
Recycle program as an accessible and efficient way of transforming glassine paper —a liner with a thin silicone coating, widely used in adhesive
labels— into a high-value resource. The aim is to prevent the material from ending up in landfills or incineration processes, and promote its reuse in new products as part
of a circular model.
Within the framework of this partnership, SOPREMA will collect, transport, and transform the waste, through its patented process, in Cestas (Gironde, France).
Lecta Self-Adhesives, in turn, will inform its customers to facilitate access to the service but will not be directly involved in the recycling process.
Companies that sign up to Adestor Collect & Recycle will unlock key benefits to reinforce their own environmental strategies:
- Less waste, with a significant reduction in the volume of glassine paper ending up incinerated or in landfill.
- Regulatory compliance, in line with the current environmental standards.
- Commitment to sustainability, using transparent practices to enhance their corporate social responsibility and reputation among customers and partners.
This new alliance reinforces the role of Lecta Self-Adhesives as a company committed to sustainability and the circular economy, promoting solutions that reduce
environmental impact and improve the efficiency of the entire labelling value chain.
Adestor Collect & Recycle, a simple gesture
with a great purpose.
