Henkel's Recyclable Laminating Adhesives for Flexible Packaging
Henkel has expanded its RE range of adhesives designed for recycling which, reports Henkel, enables packaging to go beyond current functionalities by creating flexible packaging that has recyclability “built in”. Products in this range fulfill stringent external testing requirements for sustainability, according to the company.
“The use of certified adhesives according to recognized test protocols is extremely important, as there are differences in the recycled materials in terms of their processability as well as their physical properties,” says Elodie Picard, head of sustainability packaging. “Ensuring our customers can reach their sustainability goals is one of our top priorities, which is why we work together with independent testing institutions to certify our solutions.”
Henkel has focused on the development of solutions that support the recycling process and now has the industry's most comprehensive range of recycling compatible adhesives making up our “RE Range”. The portfolio of RE adhesives includes both solvent-free and solvent-based adhesives and covers the main performance segments.
The range of recycling compatible products also includes RE Range coatings for various applications. The recycling compatibility of all Henkel RE Range products is certified by recognized certification institutes.
