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.
