Among these products is Aquence PS 3017 RE, a wash-off PSA for polyethylene terephthalate bottles, and repulpable adhesives for paper labels that fully dissolve during the recycling process.
The Henkel Packaging recyclab, part of the Henkel Inspiration Center Düsseldorf, evaluates packaging designs to ensure they meet regulatory standards such as the PPWR and are designed sustainably from the outset.
In addition to recyclable adhesives, Henkel is introducing high-performance solutions for CO₂ reduction.
These include PSAs for linerless label applications that save material and enhance process efficiency, and UV-curable PSAs known for their energy efficiency and resistance to heat, chemicals, and environmental factors, making them suitable for challenging label and tape applications.
