Position Paper on biodegradability and compostability of packaging adhesives
One of the focus areas of the 2015 EU Action Plan for the Circular Economy is plastics. Following the growing awareness of the packaging supply chain, the types of plastic packaging marketed as ‘biodegradable’ or ‘(home) compostable’ has increased significantly and adhesives producing companies receive more and more customer requests regarding the biodegradability and compostability of their products.
The adhesives industry is committed to positively contributing to the transition towards a circular economy and is making considerable efforts to work with its supply chain to better understand and mitigate the possible impact of adhesives on recycling of plastics packaging.
