  FEICA COLUMN: EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES

  FEICA in the news: ASI (Adhesives & Sealants Industry Magazine) publishes FEICA column 'Adhesives in the Context of Paper and Cardboard Recycling – State of Play'  (November 2023).

  As we create design guidelines for fiber-based products, the role of adhesives must be considered. Fiber-based products, in particular paper and cardboard, play an important part in the packaging and printing industries. In addition, their bio-based origin and high recycling rates provide tangible sustainability benefits.

  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.

• Terminology and definitions to be used in the context of adhesives in the recycling of packaging.pdf

  Uploaded November 30, 2022

  Updated terminology and definitions of adhesives in the recycling of packaging

  At the beginning of 2021, FEICA published a guide to align stakeholders on terminology and definitions to use for adhesives in plastic packaging recycling. This document has now been updated to also include paper packaging .

  Several different stakeholders publish guidelines on recycling, including requirements for adhesives in 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.

  In order to assist stakeholders in furthering a common understanding of adhesives and the requirements that are important for adhesives in recycling, FEICA published ‘Terminology and definitions to be used in the context of adhesives in the recycling of packaging’.

  A common language and technically sound definitions will help to ensure a better understanding amongst stakeholders and an easier exchange of expertise.

  FEICA position on the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation

  FEICA welcomes the opportunity of a potential recasting of the Packaging and Packaging Waste directive (PPWD) into an EU regulation, which would bring about more harmonised requirements on packaging across EU member states, reduce internal market barriers and simplify compliance work for economic operators. This position paper lists the key aspects that FEICA believes need to be considered when future packaging and packaging waste legislation is defined.
