Presentation Slides of the FEICA Webinar on Laminating Adhesives Supporting Flexible Packaging Recycling

During this webinar, we discussed what laminating adhesives are, outlining their benefits, the ways they pass through the recycling processes, and the adhesive industry's activities to promote the continuous evolution of recyclable adhesive products. In case you missed the webinar, we have listed the key takeaways here:

- Laminating adhesives are needed to create flexible packaging that is lightweight and environmentally efficient.

- Flexible Packaging with laminating adhesives is being recycled and the adhesives industry is supporting existing and emerging technologies for new recycling paths, targeting a high-quality output material.

- Knowledge is evolving; we are strongly committed to study, monitor and understand solutions and to cooperate with all actors in the supply chain.

The webinar recording is also available and can be viewed HERE.

FEICA Report on Laminating Adhesives in Flexible Plastic Packaging Recycling

Flexible packaging offers lightweight and efficient protection for various products, ranging from food to consumer and industrial goods. Laminating adhesives are crucial in bonding both multi-material and mono-material flexible structures.

Given the significance of packaging recycling, FEICA has published a report that provides the current state of play of how laminating adhesives are reflected in design-for-recycling guidelines, as well as in sortability and recyclability testing for flexible plastic packaging. For detailed insights, please consult the full report here.
