    Adhesives in the context of paper and board recycling - state of play

    Fibre-based products, in particular paper and board, play an important part in packaging and printing industries. In addition, their biobased origin and high recycling rates provide tangible sustainability benefits. Many fibre-based product designs, in particular in the area of packaging, would not be possible without adhesives, which are used in, for example, corrugation, bag and box making and labelling.

    In this paper, the place of adhesives in paper recycling is outlined. Then, existing design guidelines for fibre-based products are viewed with regards to adhesives and the treatment of adhesives in test methods and assessment schemes is considered. FEICA’s recommendations on the way to approach adhesives in paper and fibre-based recycling are also presented.

    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.

  • POP-EX-N09-015 - Adhesives in the regulation of end-of-life vehicles.pdf

    Uploaded 18 Sep 2024

    FEICA’s Position on Adhesives in End-of-Life Vehicle Regulation

    In response to the European Commission’s proposal for a regulation on requirements for vehicle design and end-of-life vehicles (‘ELV regulation proposal’, document COM 2023/451, ‘ELVR’), the FEICA’s Position Paper supports the EU's Circular Economy strategy but opposes the negative portrayal of adhesives in the ELV regulation proposal. Adhesives are crucial for vehicle sustainability and performance, and the generic reference in the legal text could harm innovation and safety.
