Flexible packaging provides lightweight, efficient protection for various products. Given just how important it is to recycle packaging, FEICA has published a report taking stock of how laminating adhesives meet design-for-recycling guidelines and how sortability and recyclability testing relate to flexible plastic packaging.

Highlights:

• What are laminating adhesives and why are they important for plastic packaging?
• What are the challenges and criteria for recycling flexible plastic packaging?
• How are laminating adhesives reflected in design-for-recycling guidelines and what are the sortability and recyclability test methods for flexible plastic packaging?
• How to enhance recyclability for adhesive applications, and future prospects.
