Phenix Label Achieves Bronze Medal for Sustainability Excellence from EcoVadis

Phenix Label Earns Bronze Medal from EcoVadis for Sustainable Practices

Phenix Label, a leading name in prime labels and flexible packaging, recently announced a significant achievement: earning a Bronze Medal from EcoVadis, a prominent organization that evaluates businesses around the globe on their sustainability initiatives. With this recognition, Phenix Label proudly stands among the top 35 percent of sustainable businesses worldwide.

The accolade highlights the company’s commitment to sustainability, particularly within the printing sector. Phenix Label has been proactive in partnering with EcoVadis-rated brands to develop lower-impact labels and smart packaging solutions, reflecting a strong alignment with modern environmental standards. Their operational model emphasizes minimizing waste and optimizing resource usage, with an impressive statistic that proves their dedication: a staggering 99 percent of operations at their Olathe production facility are landfill-free.

To further support their sustainability mission, Phenix Label's production process converts over 18 tons of waste weekly into alternative solid fuel, which is utilized by a local cement kiln. This innovative solution eliminates the need for more than 1,000 truckloads of coal each year, significantly decreasing their carbon footprint and making a measurable impact on local and global environmental efforts.

Landfill-Free Labels Partnership Program

In addition to achieving the EcoVadis Bronze Medal, Phenix Label has launched the Landfill-Free Labels partnership program. This initiative is designed to assist EcoVadis-certified brands in reducing waste and documenting their improvements in sustainability. The program aids in standardizing material selection and diversion pathways, creating a reliable method for clients to mitigate supply chain risks while enhancing their sustainability profiles.

Hans Peter, CEO of Phenix Label, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the recognition, stating, “Many of our customers run EcoVadis programs, and they rely on Phenix Label as a trusted supplier. We have documented landfill-free practices while still providing innovative label designs that do not compromise packaging efficiency.” The Bronze rating effectively validates the company's long-standing commitment to sustainability and innovation in the printing industry.

Innovative RFID-Enabled Labels

Moreover, Phenix Label has introduced a patent-pending, tear-away RFID-enabled label. This innovative design not only aids in recycling efforts but also allows for efficient scanning of liquid-filled packaging, thus ensuring that traceability and environmental considerations are intertwined. By positioning the RFID tag above the fill level, these labels meet the necessary requirements for accurate tracking while remaining environmentally responsible.

Businesses looking to enhance their sustainability practices can contact Phenix Label for a comprehensive assessment of packaging solutions. This review will cover optimized label materials, landfill-free waste management systems, and mapping of RFID-enabled traceability against supplier scorecards.
