Is this laminate recyclable?
The film is polypropylene. Where a polypropylene laminate is applied to a polypropylene item, it belongs to the same polymer family as the item and is compatible with that item’s recycling stream.
Basics, Glitter, Cat Eyes, Leather and Cross-Hatch (polypropylene)
The film is polypropylene. Where a polypropylene laminate is applied to a polypropylene item, it belongs to the same polymer family as the item and is compatible with that item’s recycling stream. On other materials, treat it as a contaminant and remove before recycling where practical. Paper release liners are handled by dedicated liner recycling services rather than household paper collections.
Holographic Self-Adhesive Laminate (A4)
The film is polypropylene, and on every pattern except Oil Spill the liner is polypropylene too, so the whole sheet is one polymer. Where a polypropylene laminate is applied to a polypropylene item it belongs to the same polymer family as the item and is compatible with that item’s recycling stream. On other materials, treat it as a contaminant and remove before recycling where practical. Oil Spill uses a paper liner, which is handled by dedicated liner recycling services rather than household paper collections.
Holographic Self-Adhesive Laminate (A3)
The film is polypropylene. On the Stars pattern the liner is polypropylene too, so the whole sheet is one polymer. Where a polypropylene laminate is applied to a polypropylene item it belongs to the same polymer family as the item and is compatible with that item’s recycling stream. On other materials, treat it as a contaminant and remove before recycling where practical. Oil Spill uses a paper liner, which is handled by dedicated liner recycling services rather than household paper collections.
Pro UV matte and gloss sheets, and the UV laminate roll (PVC)
PVC is not compatible with polypropylene or polyethylene recycling streams and is treated as a contaminant in mixed plastics collections, so prints finished with Pro UV should go in general waste unless a local PVC-accepting route is available. The paper release liner is handled by dedicated liner recycling services rather than household paper collections.
Self-Adhesive Laminate roll off-cuts (PVC)
PVC is not compatible with polypropylene or polyethylene recycling streams and is treated as a contaminant in mixed plastics collections, so prints finished with this film should go in general waste unless a local PVC-accepting route is available. The paper release liner is handled by dedicated liner recycling services rather than household paper collections.
