FEICA COLUMN: EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES

FEICA in the news: ASI (Adhesives & Sealants Industry Magazine) publishes FEICA column 'Adhesives in the Context of Paper and Cardboard Recycling – State of Play'  (November 2023).

As we create design guidelines for fiber-based products, the role of adhesives must be considered. Fiber-based products, in particular paper and cardboard, play an important part in the packaging and printing industries. In addition, their bio-based origin and high recycling rates provide tangible sustainability benefits.

FEICA Webinar - Adhesives and sealants' unique properties in electronics under the EU Ecodesign Regulation

During this webinar, the different aspects of adhesives and sealants in the electronics sector were discussed, and their unique properties and the integral role they play in contributing to the principles of the circular economy were showcased.

In case you missed the webinar, we have listed the key takeaways here:

- With regard to Ecodesign requirements of adhesives and sealants, often the focus is on their weaknesses for recycling, although they contribute massively to the material and resource efficiency and reliability of electrical and electronic devices. The webinar presented the unique possibilities of adhesives and sealants to integrate functionality while enhancing slim design and durability

- State-of-the-art adhesives are being used in electronic products, that allow debonding for the sustainable transition. During the webinar different debonding techniques were presented as well as ways adhesives can be applied for targeted debonding

- Unlocking the potential of the circular economy of reversible bonding requires optimal cooperation and coordination along the value chain including alignment of incentives
