Packaging buyers serving the European market are reviewing more than the corrugated box itself. Sealing tape, labels, coatings and other attached components can influence the material structure of the finished package. Under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, or PPWR, recyclability is considered at packaging level rather than by evaluating one component in isolation.

As paper-based packaging and plastic-reduction requirements gain importance, non-PE pressure-sensitive kraft tape is becoming a relevant carton-sealing option. Learn how Greenflat combines anti-seepage-treated kraft paper, acrylic adhesive, and a non-PE structure to support packaging performance and paper-oriented packaging goals.

RECOVER is YG Group’s end-of-life material strategy for adhesive solutions. It uses biodegradable, bio-based, and degradable materials such as cellophane tape, PLA tape, degradable BOPP film, and water activated kraft paper tape to reduce plastic residue, support resource recovery, and build more eco-friendly packaging systems.

RECYCLE is YG Group's circular material strategy for adhesive tapes. It uses recycled PP and PE materials in products such as recycled BOPP tape and recycled cloth duct tape. These solutions help reduce virgin plastic use, support recycled content goals, lower carbon impact, and build closed-loop packaging systems.

REUSE is YG Group’s label material strategy for circular packaging. It uses removable labels and wash-off labels to support clean removal, no residue, surface protection, and container reuse. These solutions help reduce cleaning work, extend packaging life, and support reusable bottles, logistics containers, retail labels, and returnable packaging systems.

REDUCE is YG Group’s material optimization approach. It uses lightweight design and linerless structures to reduce material use, liner waste, storage pressure, and lifecycle carbon impact while keeping product performance stable. Key solutions include linerless labels and linerless aluminum foil tape for packaging, labeling, HVAC, and industrial applications.

PREVENT helps reduce plastic use, VOC risks, and chemical concerns from the design stage through sustainable tapes, labels, and adhesives.

YG Group is strengthening its sustainability journey through SBTi-validated climate targets and a successful TfS assessment, demonstrating continued progress in responsible growth and supply chain sustainability.

After more than a year of dedicated effort, Yongguan New Materials has successfully obtained compliance certification for the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) from SGS, a leading international certification body, along with a Due Diligence Report (EUDR-DDS).
