Smarter Labels, Cleaner Future: CILS’s Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability

At CILS International, our commitment to innovation goes hand in hand with our dedication to sustainability. As we continue to grow and evolve, we’re proud to share several exciting updates that reflect both our environmental responsibility and technological progress.

Zero to Landfill: A Policy We Live By

Environmental stewardship is central to everything we do. That’s why we proudly operate with a Zero to Landfill policy. Through rigorous waste management, recycling, and recovery strategies, we ensure that none of our operational waste ends up in landfill sites. This policy significantly reduces our environmental footprint, actively supports the principles of a circular economy, and plays a vital role in driving long-term sustainability.

On the Path to Net Zero by 2036

Building on our Zero to Landfill policy, we’ve set our sights on a broader and more ambitious goal: achieving net-zero emissions by 2036. This target is embedded in our long-term strategy and reflects our proactive approach to environmental impact reduction. Every decision, from material sourcing to manufacturing processes, is made with this goal in mind.

Introducing CILS 3.0®: Smarter, Greener Technology

A cornerstone of this progress is our CILS 3.0® Technology, our newest label production system designed to enhance efficiency, precision, and environmental responsibility. The new CILS 3.0® machine is a refined system that pushes the boundaries of durable label production. It helps reduce material waste, streamlines energy use, and allows for faster, more consistent output, all while maintaining the highest standards of quality and compliance.
 

This innovation aligns with our ISO 9001:2015 certification, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to quality management, continuous improvement, and customer satisfaction.

Custom Watermarks: A New Feature for Enhanced Label Security

As part of the capabilities of our CILS 3.0® Technology, we’re excited to introduce a powerful new feature: custom watermarks. These can now be integrated into your label designs as either subtle design elements or as functional verification tools. Custom watermarks are ideal for improving product traceability, brand identity, and value, alongside deterring unauthorised replication, which is a valuable feature in high-security or regulated industries.

We’re proud of the constant improvements we’re making, not just in technology, but in building a more sustainable and secure future for our customers, employees, partners and the planet. As always, we remain committed to providing label solutions that are durable, compliant, and designed with purpose.
