PREVENT: Reducing Environmental Impact from the Start
Sustainability starts early.
It starts before waste is created.
It starts before materials enter production.
It starts at the design stage.
This is the idea of PREVENT.
PREVENT means source prevention.
It focuses on reducing environmental and health risks from the beginning.
For adhesive materials, this includes:
- Product design
- Material selection
- Adhesive formula
- Packaging structure
- Production process
- Safety control
At YG Group, PREVENT focuses on three areas:
- Source Plastic Reduction
- Cleaner Production
- Health & Safety at the Source
These areas help customers build better packaging, safer labels, and cleaner adhesive solutions.
What Is Source Prevention?
Source prevention means solving problems before they appear.
It does not only treat waste after production.
It reduces risks from the start.
In adhesive tapes and labels, source prevention can mean:
- Using paper instead of plastic film
- Reducing extra plastic layers
- Choosing cleaner adhesive systems
- Avoiding harmful chemicals
- Supporting recycling
- Making packaging easier to process
This approach helps brands reduce their impact in a practical way.
It also helps buyers meet new sustainability needs.
1. Source Plastic Reduction
Plastic reduction is a key part of PREVENT.
Many packaging systems still use plastic film, shrink film, or mixed materials. These materials can make recycling harder.
YG Group supports plastic reduction through:
- Paper-based tape
- Filmless label packaging
- Simpler packaging structures
1.1 Paper Tape: A Plastic-Free Choice for Carton Sealing
Traditional carton sealing tape often uses plastic film.
Paper tape uses paper as the main material.
It can replace plastic film tape in many packaging uses.
YG Group’s paper tape is suitable for:
- Carton sealing
- E-commerce packaging
- Retail packaging
- Logistics shipping
- Green packaging projects
It helps reduce plastic use at the source.
It can also work better with paper cartons in recycling systems.
Key Benefits
- Reduces plastic use
- Uses paper-based material
- Supports plastic-free packaging
- Fits carton sealing applications
- Helps simplify recycling
- Suitable for large-scale packaging use

1.2 Filmless Label Packaging: Less Plastic, Simpler Structure
Plastic reduction is not only about tape.
It can also come from better label packaging design.
Filmless label packaging removes the plastic shrink film used in some traditional label packaging structures.
The label can be applied directly to the release surface.
This helps reduce unnecessary plastic from the start.
It also keeps key performance:
- Stable adhesion
- Removable use
- Clean handling
- Simple structure
Key Benefits
- Removes plastic shrink film
- Reduces extra plastic use
- Simplifies packaging structure
- Supports removable adhesion
- Helps brands reduce packaging waste
- Supports cleaner label packaging design

2. Cleaner Production
Sustainability is not only about visible waste.
It also includes the production process.
Some adhesive systems may create VOC-related risks.
Some processes may need more energy.
Some formulas may add more environmental pressure.
PREVENT helps reduce these risks through cleaner adhesive technology.
2.1 UV Adhesive: A Cleaner Adhesive Process
UV adhesive uses UV curing technology.
It can cure fast.
It can support clean production.
It can help improve process efficiency.
A solvent-free UV adhesive system can help reduce VOC-related risks from the source.
It can also support lower-impact production when used in the right process.
Key Benefits
- Supports solvent-free processing
- Helps reduce VOC-related risks
- Cures quickly under UV light
- Supports cleaner production
- Helps improve production efficiency
- Suitable for industrial bonding
Main Applications
UV adhesive can be used in:
- Electronics assembly
- Thermal management
- LED modules
- Industrial bonding
- Fast-curing adhesive applications

3. Health & Safety at the Source
Source prevention also means safer materials.
Thermal labels are used every day.
They are used in logistics, retail, warehouses, and shipping.
Many people touch these labels:
- Warehouse workers
- Couriers
- Retail staff
- Packing workers
- End users
So chemical safety matters.
3.1 BPA-Free Variable Information Labels: Safer Thermal Label Materials
YG Group’s BPA-free variable information labels are designed for variable data printing.
They support clear printing and stable performance.
They are suitable for:
- Barcode labels
- Shipping labels
- Retail labels
- Logistics labels
- Tracking labels
The material is designed to meet:
- BPA-free requirements
- BPS-free requirements
- Phenol-free requirements
This helps reduce chemical safety concerns from the source.
It also supports safer handling during use and disposal.
Key Benefits
- Designed without BPA, BPS, and phenol
- Helps reduce chemical safety risks
- Supports safer direct handling
- Offers clear thermal printing
- Works for barcode and tracking labels
- Supports global safety and environmental needs
