MENTOR, OH – March 22, 2024 – Avery Dennison (NYSE: AVY), a global leader in material science and digital identification solutions, is celebrating once more having received recognition for its innovative approach to sustainability.

The company’s Logistics Grade Linerless Solution was announced by MHI, the renowned material handling, logistics and supply chain trade association, as the winning entry in the category of Best New Innovation in Sustainability. MHI CEO, John Paxton, presented the award during the MODEX 2O24 supply chain experience event at the Georgia World Congress Center.

Avery Dennison’s linerless labels can have a significant positive impact on a logistics operation’s productivity, efficiency, safety and carbon footprint. According to the Carbon Trust Footprint, switching from a direct thermal linered product to Avery Dennison's direct thermal linerless solution results in a 49% reduction in carbon and a 34% reduction in water usage.
