How to recycle our products Textile materials used by PRT Visual come from secondary raw materials and are recyclable, enabling material recovery and reuse. PRT Visual is currently working with selected fabric manufacturers to offer collection from the end user, processing within the Company, and shipment to dedicated polyester recycling facilities. Textile printing: a durable and recyclable option The envelopes most commonly requested by customers are those with one or more plastic windows. To recycle this type of envelope correctly, in line with Comieco guidance, it is recommended to remove the plastic window and recycle the rest of the paper envelope in the paper recycling bin. However, recycling rules vary by municipality. Some accept envelopes whole, while others require separation of plastic. It is important to check local guidelines for correct disposal. If the envelope is in good condition, consider reusing it for other purposes before recycling it. Window envelopes Traditional envelopes, often featuring plastic windows, can slow down the recycling process. To improve recovery efficiency, PRT has recently introduced the self-forming envelope, made entirely of paper and 100% recyclable through paper separate collection. This new product is environmentally friendly and supports the virtuous paper cycle thanks to the use of FSC® or PEFC-certified paper. In addition, self-forming envelopes are fully customisable thanks to our digital printing technologies and allow all essential information, such as the delivery address, to be included without the need for plastic windows.
