• Presentation FEICA Webinar REACH Restriction on Diisocyanates.pdf

  Uploaded 26 May 2021

  Presentation slides of the FEICA webinar ‘Complying with the REACH Restriction on Diisocyanates’ – 26 May 2021

  Key takeaways:

  • A new REACH restriction on diisocyanates establishing information, labelling and training requirements was adopted

  • As of 24 February 2022, all diisocyanates containing products intended to be used in industrial or professional settings with a total monomeric diisocyanate concentration greater than 0.1 % shall be labelled as established in the restriction

  • As of 24 February 2022, suppliers should provide end users with information about the training on the safe use of diisocyanates

  • FEICA is making available a series of informative materials/tools to support the adhesives and sealants industry to convey the information to its end users

  • As of 24 August 2023, all industrial or professional user(s) OR supervisors of tasks involving diisocyanates, should have successfully completed training on the safe use of diisocyanates prior to the use of the substance(s) or mixture(s)

  • The industry is working together to develop the content of the training on the safe use of diisocyanates

• Presentation FEICA Webinar Communicating on Adhesives in Plastic Recycling.pdf

  Uploaded 28 Apr 2021

  Presentation slides of the FEICA webinar ‘Communicating on adhesives in plastic recycling’ - 28 April 2021

  Key takeaways:

  • Cooperation in the supply chain is key to successfully implementing a circular economy

  • Speaking the same language will help the supply chain to collaborate efficiently

  • Adhesives and adhesive applications are subject to constant innovation and optimisation. Technology-neutral guidelines help enable and accommodate these innovations

  FEICA input after third CASG polymers meeting

  During the third CASG polymers meeting held on the 19 March 2021, the European Commission presented the document named ‘An initial thought starter on REACH information requirements for Unique Polymers Requiring Registration (PRR)’.

  After reviewing the document and in line with the discussions held during the third CASG meeting, FEICA PRR TF drafted a paper to respond to the Commission 'thought starter'. Paper also submitted to the CARACAL subgroup and available on the FEICA public website.

• FEICA Webinar Use Maps Presentation Slides.pdf

  Uploaded 15 Apr 2021

  Presentation slides of the FEICA webinar on implementing sector use maps - 15 April 2021

  Key takeaways:

  • Use maps play a key role in supply chain communication and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) encourages their implementation

  • FEICA use maps cover the majority of typical uses for sealants and adhesives in industrial and professional as well as consumer settings

  • Using ECHA’s CHEmical Safety Assessment and Reporting tool (CHESAR) to implement FEICA use maps saves time for registrants

  • The improvements derived from the implementation of use maps will only be noticeable when applied to a majority of raw materials used in adhesives and sealants

• Terminology and definitions to be used in the context of plastic packaging recycling_V2.pdf

  Uploaded 15 Apr 2021

  Terminology and definitions to be used in the context of plastic packaging recycling

  FEICA is aware of several different stakeholders publishing guidelines on plastic recycling, including requirements for adhesives in plastics recycling. Divergent terminology is used in these guidance papers, and this terminology also often differs from what is used in the adhesives industry and by users of adhesives. This Position Paper aims to assist stakeholders in furthering a common understanding of adhesives and the requirements that are important for adhesives in plastic recycling. A common language and technically sound definitions will help to ensure a better understanding amongst stakeholders and an easier exchange of expertise.

  Brexit update

  In our previous briefing paper, we examined the potential outcomes of the UK leaving the EU with and without a deal. A “no deal” scenario was avoided and the UK left the EU with a signed withdrawal agreement. We’d like to take the opportunity to update you with our current understanding of the implications of these developments on our industry.

• Presentation slides FEICA webinar - Testing project on hotmelts for food packaging.pdf

  Uploaded 17 Mar 2021

  Presentation slides of the FEICA webinar 'Testing project on hotmelts for food packaging' - 17 March 2021

  Below are the webinar takeaways :

  • Typical hotmelts for food packaging do not contain mineral oil 

  • The FEICA testing project could demonstrate the safety of representative hotmelts for food contact materials

  • A correlation can be established between extraction, simulation and testing on real foodstuff when simulation will predict real migration with a safety margin

• ALMA - Press Release February 2021.pdf

  Uploaded 10 Mar 2021

  ALMA Press Release 24 February 2021

  In order to improve the efficiency and driving range of electric vehicles, the weight of the global vehicle must be reduced. In addition, increasing environmental awareness and forthcoming stricter regulations demand the adoption of circular economy principles across the entire vehicle life cycle.

  The EU therefore approved the ALMA project (Advanced Light MAterials and Processes for the Eco-Design of Electric Vehicles). The project, of which FEICA has been a supporting partner, will be funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. Also see CORDIS for more information.
