Yerecic Label Explains When D4R Doesn’t Make Sense
July 17, 2025 | 1 min to read
Designing for Recyclability (D4R) remains a critical priority in sustainable packaging strategy, even when recycling streams are not yet fully established. However, for packaging types where established recycling streams do not exist, alternative sustainable attributes can help brands immediately enhance their environmental impact and strengthen their sustainability initiatives.
Understanding D4R and SustainLabel!®
It’s important to note that designing a label to be recycling-friendly depends on the specific type of plastic or resin it’s being applied to. For example, Yerecic Label’s SustainLabel!® Preferred Design Recognition label construction emphasizes a label designed with PET recyclability in mind, including an APR Recognized Wash-Away Adhesive that significantly enhances the packages recyclability. The requirements for this type of label design have been created with PET recycling practices in mind.
