    Presentation - FEICA Webinar - Understanding the CLP Revision FINAL

    During this FEICA webinar, we discussed a revised Regulation on the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of chemicals (CLP). The revision of the Regulation has resulted in changes in many areas, such as new hazard classes, classification, labelling inventory, CLH and grouping, digital labelling, advertisement and notification of substances to Poison Centres.

    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.

    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.

  • Recommendation on Assessment of Regulatory Needs (ARNs).pdf

    Uploaded 11 Jan 2024

    DUCC supports joint recommendation for clarity on Assessment of Regulatory Needs (ARNs)

    ARNs, initiated by the European Chemical Agency (ECHA), serve as a preliminary step to evaluate the necessity of regulatory risk management for substances. After group assessments, 60% of substances are deemed not to require additional regulatory measures, while the remaining 40% necessitate further data collection to determine and implement appropriate regulatory risk management measures.

    The ARN tool facilitates anticipation of potential regulatory actions, encouraging industry engagement in the process and proactivity in updating dossier information.
