Our commitment to sustainability.
We have made sustainable practices and a focus on environmental impact a critical part of our overall business model and approach. We apply planet-forward thinking throughout the company, taking steps to maintain environmentally-sound standards within our supply chain, manufacturing, and administrative operations. Our goal is to do our part in improving environmental sustainability for our customers, suppliers, employees, and communities as a whole.
Through our partnership with the nonprofit One Tree Planted, we are making an impact on reforestation – one tree at a time.
Fineline Plants Trees
In collaboration with One Tree Planted, FineLine Technologies is planting trees to support global reforestation. With every tree planted, FineLine is making an impact to restore native woodlands, improve water and soil quality, and create habitat for wildlife in areas that historically were forested.
We feel deeply committed to giving back to our planet by supporting vital reforestation efforts. This is why as part of our commitment to sustainability we have partnered with One Tree Planted, creating a sustainable future for generations to come – one tree at a time.
Let’s make an impact together! Discover more about this initiative and how to get involved here.
Core sustainability objectives
- Measurably reduce the amount of waste produced in our departments.
- Investigate sustainable products and services designed to improve energy consumption and production expenditure (materials, packing, and shipping).
- Streamline processes, utilizing smart order management and logistics technology to reduce resource consumption during product transportation from our suppliers to our customers.
- Collaborate with supply chain partners to reduce scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including DHL’s GoGreenPlus initiative.
Our goal is to do our part in improving environmental sustainability for our customers, suppliers, employees, and communities as a whole.
Sustainably-produced RFID products help improve efficiency and reduce waste within your supply chain.
Environmentally Friendly RFID Tags
RFID tags and labels play a crucial role in improving sustainability across various industries. By streamlining supply chains and inventory management, RFID technology helps companies reduce waste and operate more efficiently. Our environmentally friendly RFID products are:
- Made of FSC-certified & PCW recycled paper stocks
- Produced in FSC-certified facilities in Atlanta & Shenzhen
- Include plastic-free inlays made through a more environmentally friendly process
- Use 70% less material than PET inlays
- Leave a 90% smaller carbon footprint compared to PET inlays
Enabling a Circular Economy with DPPs
As a leader in variable-data labeling, FineLine is uniquely positioned to bring Digital Product Passport (DPP) ambitions to life using our FASTtrak platform. We ensure every item is assigned a secure, item‑level identifier (RAIN RFID, 2D barcode, or human‑readable), and associate it with metadata such as manufacturing origin, lot, purchase order, and shipment details—capturing traceability from birth.
Our infrastructure is based on industry standards, including GS1 and RAIN RFID—technologies already embraced globally for their robustness and interoperability. FASTtrak enables secure generation, encoding, and real‑time management of these unique data elements, making FineLine’s solution not only compatible but complementary to DPP frameworks.
FineLine is ready to collaborate with brands, retailers, and regulators to integrate DPP requirements seamlessly. Our existing capabilities in item-level marking, secure data management, and global print-and-encode logistics (48-hour turnaround worldwide) mean brands can adopt DPPs with confidence—and without disrupting their supply chain operations.
FineLine supports the vision of Digital Product Passports as an enabler of transparency, sustainability, and circular economy initiatives. DPPs—digital profiles tied to unique product identifiers—are poised to transform manufacturing, lifecycle visibility, and consumer trust.
