MATERIALS AND SOLUTIONS WITH DOCUMENTED ENVIRONMENTAL ATTRIBUTES
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT RANGE
Process innovation, efficient use of resources and materials
Arca Etichette has always made sustainability a cornerstone of its future.
We develop solutions and processes designed to reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and promote the use of certified and recycled materials.
We monitor Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, as well as relevant Scope 3 categories, in accordance with the GHG Protocol, using documented data sources and calculation methodologies.
We choose recycled, bio-based, biodegradable, and compostable raw materials, FSC® certified paper, or materials derived from natural and plant fibers.
Applicable standards, certifications, relevant packaging components, and end-of-life conditions are specified in the dedicated technical documentation.
We collaborate with suppliers and customers to advance environmental initiatives and embed ESG principles throughout our supply chain selection, evaluation, and monitoring activities.
We reduce set-up waste, trials, rework, and production scrap through digitalization, digital printing, lean manufacturing, and more efficient process technologies.

OUR OFFER
An innovative raw material lineto stand out from the competition and achieve sustainability goals.
Bio-based material
We offer “bio-based” materials of biological origin (e.g. biomass), made primarily from polymers derived from renewable sources such as corn or sugarcane, with the remaining portion from fossil carbon.
For our electricity consumption, we use renewable energy certified through Guarantees of Origin. In 2025, our market-based Scope 2 emissions amounted to 0 tCO₂e, compared with 425.30 tCO₂e under the location-based approach.
PE BIORENEW
Material available with ISCC PLUS-certified bio-circular content, according to the specific product reference and the manufacturer’s supporting documentation. Any carbon footprint reduction claims are communicated only when supported by documented quantitative comparisons.
The recyclability of the solution depends on the overall packaging design and the applicable recycling stream.
Compatibility with PE recycling streams may be achieved in specific configurations. Evaluation should be based on the complete packaging system, including label, adhesive, and container, and supported by the manufacturer’s current technical documentation.
MARBLE BASE / STONE PAPER
Composed of 80% stone powder (calcium carbonate) and 20% of HDPE (non-toxic high-density resin) which acts as a binder. Stone Paper has a pleasant natural “soft-touch” velvet effect, which makes it unique and usable even without surface finishes.
It can be recycled like plastic. It is waterproof.

Natural sources materials
Partially recycled facestocks deriving from plant fibers, sugarcane and many other natural materials from post-consumer waste. Ideal for those who wish to reduce their environmental impact while creating a handcrafted look for a unique product story.
FSC® certified materials
Face stocks and liners made from FSC®-certified paper are available, depending on the specific product reference and the applicable chain-of-custody certification.
COMPOSTABLE
Paired with equally compostable adhesives.
BIODEGRADABLE
Paired with equally biodegradable adhesives.
Natural sources materials
Materials incorporating plant-based fibres and/or post-consumer recycled content are available, depending on the specific product reference. Composition and content percentages are provided in the applicable technical documentation.

COMPOSTABLE
Paired with equally compostable adhesives.
BIODEGRADABLE
Paired with equally biodegradable adhesives.
Recycled materials
White and clear recycled synthetic films.
PE
Made from 100% recycled materials, it
consumes fewer resources, helps to keep plastic out of the waste stream, and gives packaging a more authentic look.
PET
Contains a minimum of 25% post-consumer waste from PET bottles.
PP
Made from raw materials containing up to 100% post-consumer waste.
CLEANFLAKE PORTFOLIO
Enables clean PET bottle-to-bottle recycling. What we have already used can be reused multiple times.

Material reduction
No compromise on efficiency and performance, we use thinner materials and waste fewer resources.
THINKTHIN FILMS
Selected materials feature a reduced thickness, enabling lower material usage compared with the corresponding standard reference for the same surface area. The level of reduction depends on the specific product reference.
LINERLESS
Striped Linerless bands, available in paperboard and synthetic materials (white or clear polypropylene), are designed without a silicone release liner. Linerless configuration removes the need for a liner and eliminates the associated waste compared with conventional self-adhesive labels.
