Re-LinerTM

Process

Circular Economy Innovation

Manufacturing carbon reducing release papers and films

Our Process

Waste silicone release liners are difficult to recycle due to their silicone coating and levels of contamination. Techlan has developed a highly innovative, patented recycling process for the recovery of this form of waste. It is a circular economy solution that allows the release liners to be used again by the same manufacturer or reused back into different industry sectors.

Stage 1: Release Papers Discarded

Silicone release papers are created as waste by-products from production processes, or as waste carriers from the supply of adhesive-backed products. They are often discarded and sent to landfill as they are so difficult to recycle. This is very costly to the manufacturer and has a significant environmental impact. If you would like to reduce your costs and environmental impact, then please contact Techlan for a free site audit. See our waste licences here.
