UPM develops renewable and responsible solutions to reduce the world’s reliance on fossil-based materials. ​UPM ProFi wood plastic composite (WPC) is the first industrial scale solution for self adhesive label waste. The sustainable decking boards are made mainly from recycled materials and are recyclable.

Innovation in composite manufacturing


The innovative production process utilises the cellulose fibres and plastic polymers that are surplus by-products in self-adhesive label manufacture and processing. UPM ProFi can also be called a paper plastic composite or a composite. As there is no other significant recycling process for the label surplus material, the manufacture of UPM ProFi actually reduces landfill and waste incineration.

Target is to use recycled plastic in 2018

All UPM ProFi products are made with a high content (50%–90%) of recycled materials, thereby reducing landfill and incineration.

The off-cuts can be disposed of with normal household waste or recycled to energy

The composite materials are also recyclable: all solid production waste in our factories is recycled. Unfortunately no pan-European collection service exists to gather off-cuts or material from old decks for recycling to our factories: this is an aim for the future.
