ExxonMobil, Henkel, Kraus Folie, Siegwerk and Windmöller & Hölscher have collaborated to develop a fully recyclable mono-material PE pouch that has similar properties to barely recyclable multi-material laminated pouches. The new pouches utilize the latest polymers, inks, functional coatings, adhesives and conversion technology and were the product of a unique value chain collaboration.
The German multinational chemical and consumer goods company, Henkel has set an ambitious sustainability target for 2025. The brand is set to cut off half as much virgin plastic from fossil sources in its consumer products packaging while increasing the proportion of recycled plastic to more than 30 per cent.
'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 Guilherme Fernandes, senior manager product development polyurethanes for Henkel Packaging Adhesives.
