    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.

    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.

    The need for surfactants by the adhesives and sealants industry

    Read the FEICA Position Paper on surfactants need to manufacturing processes involving the use of adhesive and selants. Surfactants are critical to many application such as water-borne and solvent-based adhesive, sealants and primer.

    Removal of surfactants from the market would result in unavailability of water-based adhesive and sealants too, impacting also all of those products that depends on the use of this technology. Sales of water-soluble polymer adhesives added up to a total 115,000 tonnes in 2023.
