A leader in the label and packaging materials production industry, Avery Dennison has undertaken a number of pressure sensitive initiatives and engaged in other projects designed to enhance the company’s sustainability efforts. Most recently, Avery Dennison successfully installed a Turnhout, Belgium-based wind turbine that will meet 30 percent of the location’s electrical needs.
