Environmentally Aware Printing – Types of Adhesives (continued)

Environmentally Aware Printing – Types of Adhesives (continued) – 18th March 2010

Many companies worldwide are investing and will be investing significant amounts in the recycling issue; some of the adhesive manufacturers’ approaches having been highlighted here.

It is strongly apparent that if significant progress is to be made then all interested parties must work together in order to reach mutually acceptable goals and standards. These programmes must therefore demand the commitment of industry research organisations, adhesive manufacturers, recycling mills and a host of other co-suppliers and users in the industry if they are to succeed.

One must never lose sight of the end product, i.e. a book or magazine and its user’s expectations of that product.

Whilst the driving forces for recycling of books and adhesives is becoming stronger, customer’s expectations of adhesive performance have not diminished and key parameters such as page retention, flexibility, heat and cold resistance must be retained. We are, however, coming close to releasing quality and adhesive performance.
