Yes. What makes a product with a label recyclable depends upon the process used to recycle. Since aluminum recycling involves melting the material a paper label will simply burn and the adhesive burned off.

Paper labels on 'paper' products however DO present a problem in the recycling stream believe it or not. This is why the post office asked the label industry to develop RCA's, "Recycling Compatible Adhesives".

To learn more about Recycling Compatible Adhesives, biodegradable labels, compostable labels, stone paper (FiberStone) labels and other eco-friendly labels (green labels) have a look at or contact Label Impressions, Inc for more information.

Is the label paper as in you have a sheet of labels and peel them off is the left over sheet recyclable?

Yes, the label 'carrier sheet' is indeed recyclable but not through conventional sources. The label carrier is called 'liner'. Label liners can be paper, clear film or paper with a glassine coating (called 44PK). Liner can only be recycled by a liner recycling company and must be collected by them. For more info about liner recycling you can reach Jeff Salisbury at Label Impressions.
