How can I recycle the Avery eco-friendly labels and what happens during the recycling process? How can I recycle the Avery eco-friendly labels and what happens
during the recycling process?
Unused Avery eco-friendly labels and liners can be disposed of along with your other recyclable waste paper via your usual recycling method. Paper based labels and siliconised liners can be used for the pulp when making recycled papers. During this process all components which can't be used in paper making, such as the adhesive and silicone, are filtered out and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.

It can even bestuck on non-fatty foodstuff. For example you could stick the label to an apple, peel it off again and still eat the apple without any health risks.
