  Study on oligomeric hydrocarbons from hotmelt adhesives used in cardboard packaging 

  FEICA commissioned a study from Laboratory Lommatzsch & Säger to look into the potential migration of mineral oil hydrocarbons from typical packaging hotmelts. This study, titled 'Extraction, migration simulation and storage test regarding oligomeric hydrocarbons from hotmelt adhesives used in cardboard packaging', is now available for the food packaging value chain and regulators.

• 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

• 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.

• 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

• FEICA publishes Position Paper on biodegradability and compostability of packaging adhesives.pdf

  Uploaded 12 Aug 2020

  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.

  FEICA publishes Summary Report of the FEICA risk assessment of cyclic esters in polyester adhesives

  Press release: FEICA has published a Summary Report of a FEICA risk assessment carried out on cyclic esters potentially present in polyester adhesives intended to be used in food contact materials. The FEICA document aims to provide the necessary information to help downstream users carry out their own risk assessments. The summary report published by FEICA intends to outline the main findings of the risk assessment and explain that human exposure to cyclic esters from polyester pre-polymers in food packaging adhesives is not relevant from a toxicological point of view.
