The environmental performance of BOPP synthetic label paper is relatively good, mainly reflected in the following aspects:


1. Material source and production process

Material source: BOPP synthetic label paper is mainly made of polypropylene (PP) and other polymer materials, which have a wide range of raw materials and are relatively environmentally friendly in the production process. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic, and its raw materials are mainly derived from fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, although there is a gap compared with renewable energy to a certain extent, but the polypropylene material itself is relatively clean in the production process and does not produce a lot of harmful substances.

Production process: The production process of BOPP synthetic label paper uses advanced film stretching technology, which produces relatively little waste in the process, and most of the waste can be recycled. In addition, with the improvement of environmental awareness and technological progress, many manufacturers pay more attention to energy conservation and emission reduction and resource recycling in the production process.

2.recyclability and degradability

Recyclability: BOPP synthetic label paper has good recyclability. After use, these labels can be collected for recycling, converting them back into raw materials or recycled products through a series of physical and chemical processes. This helps to reduce waste generation and environmental pollution.

Biodegradability: Although BOPP synthetic labels themselves do not have the ability to degrade naturally (compared to bio-based materials), they can be treated harmlessly through specific treatment methods (such as incineration). The heat generated during incineration can be used for power generation or other industrial purposes, while the ash residue after incineration can also be further treated or utilized. In addition, with the development of environmental technology, some new biodegradable BOPP synthetic materials are being developed, which are expected to achieve better environmental performance in the future.

3.Environmental impact assessment

Life cycle assessment: From the perspective of life cycle, BOPP synthetic label paper can significantly reduce the impact on the environment through the use of environmentally friendly production processes and recycling measures in the whole process of raw material acquisition, production and processing, use to waste treatment. Of course, this also needs the joint efforts of manufacturers and consumers to achieve.

Environmental Certification and standards: Many BOPP synthetic label paper manufacturers have passed environmental management system certification such as ISO 14001, and comply with relevant environmental standards and regulations for production and management. These certifications and standards help ensure the environmental performance and quality of products.

4. Application and promotion

Application: BOPP synthetic label paper is widely used in the packaging and identification field of food, beverage, daily chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries. In these fields, its environmental performance has been widely recognized and accepted.

Promotion prospects: With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness and the increasingly strict environmental regulations, the environmental performance of BOPP synthetic label paper will become one of the important advantages of its market competition. In the future, with the advancement of technology and the reduction of costs, BOPP synthetic label paper is expected to be promoted and applied in more fields.


In summary, BOPP synthetic label paper has excellent environmental performance, good recyclability and certain environmental impact control measures. However, it is also necessary to pay attention to the environmental problems that may arise in the process of production and use, and take corresponding measures to solve them.
