Hemp – a versatile plant fiber

For centuries, hemp has been an important crop with a wide range of applications. It can be grown almost anywhere, with few requirements, and has many other properties.

Originally from Eastern Europe, hemp was introduced to our regions several hundred years ago. And because we’ve been growing hemp in Europe for so long, it’s been a well-known product for centuries. So we know how to use every part of the plant: the leaves, the flowers, the fibers, the woody parts: all have a long list of uses. To name but a few: food, medicine, CBD, marijuana, but also building materials, rope, tarpaulin, paper and textiles. Hemp can be grown in different regions, and its fibers can be used in many types of products.

Today, hemp fibers are also used in the production of certain labeling materials.

Hemp paper, FSC® mix credit

An uncoated, matt, wood-free white paper with 50% hemp fiber and 50% FSC® (FSC Recycled Credit) certified paper.
Hemp paper is made with 50% hemp fibers sourced from France and Germany.

This hemp-fiber-based paper allows you to choose a material with a clearly identified composition.
This material has a natural, textured appearance and is therefore perfectly suited to products that want to highlight a natural visual identity, such as organic products and natural cosmetics. What’s more, the label’s thick surface lends itself perfectly to embossing!

Ocean Bound – plastic collected from coastal areas

Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) is a collection of plastic waste of all shapes and sizes found less than 50 km from the coast, in places where waste management is non-existent or ineffective. This waste is therefore likely to enter the ocean via the wind or rivers, hence the name “ocean-bound plastic”. The term therefore refers to plastic collected in areas where there is a risk of it reaching the marine environment. Plastic, and plastic in general, is in itself an extremely useful material for modern society: light, strong and flexible, it can be used to make anything quickly and easily.
However, a significant proportion of plastic waste is not collected or recycled and can end up in the environment. Collecting and recycling this waste allows it to be reintroduced into recovery and recycling streams.

“Ocean Bound plastic” is an initiative to collect plastic waste in places where garbage collection is not regulated. The collected plastic is then recycled and transformed into new material, including labels!

Ocean Bound label material is made from recycled plastic collected in coastal areas of Asia. Waste is collected from Asian beaches and coastal areas, then chemically recycled into a plastic with properties identical to those of standard PP. The material is ISCC PLUS* certified, making it suitable for companies wishing to highlight the use of recycled plastic and a certified material. It is also suitable for the food and beverage, cosmetics and personal care, and fashion sectors. Ideal for products related to nature and the sea.

*) The ISCC is a certification system developed in Germany for raw materials and supply chains certified according to its criteria.

• Made from plastic waste collected in areas at risk of marine pollution.
• Made from plastic waste from Asian beaches and coastal areas.
• Properties identical to those of our standard PP films: Ocean Bound PP film
