The two adhesives used for flexible packaging in Henkel Loctite liofol RE
series have obtained recyclass certification and are fully compatible with
the existing recycling process of polyethylene (PE).
The development of these adhesives ensures
Flexible packaging can be recycled into higher quality plastic,
And in a variety of applications to achieve a better secondary
Life choice. This is to achieve greater sustainability and create
A key milestone of circular economy.
Recyclass is a comprehensive cross industry initiative that promotes
the recyclability of plastic packaging and ensures the traceability and
transparency of recycled plastic content in Europe.
The organization aims to establish a scientific foundation through
rigorous scientific testing and certification of innovative materials
A unified calculation method of recycled components.
Senior manager of Henkel polyurethane product development
Guilherme Fernandes explained, "to get
Recyclass certified, our innovation is solvent-free
Adhesives have been widely used in accordance with strict scientific agreements
The test proves its suitability for the packaging recycling process
Usability. Henkel's solution has been
Test of recyclasspo thin film technical committee.
During the evaluation, different solvent-free solutions were reviewed
How does the adhesive affect the Recycled LDPE film layer
Performance. "
The results show that the two solventless composite adhesives are both
It can be compared with the existing polyethylene flexible material industry in Europe
The recycling process is fully compatible. In addition, these two methods are used
The adhesive will not have any impact on the quality of recycled materials
