Sustainable Packaging Brings Innovation Opportunities for Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives
Adhesives can play a role in making packaging more recyclable. Whilst various packages are perceived as highly recyclable, and the materials used to construct the box or bottle are indeed recyclable, the labels and tapes attached to them can diminish or even eliminate the full recycling potential.
An Example of the Benefit of ASTM Product Specifications
Most ASTM standards describe testing methods and protocols for analyzing individual material characteristics. There is also a group of standards that provide broad information needed for specific products. Those standards consolidate the variety of testing methods needed to ensure that a product system exhibits the required characteristics, attributes, and longevity in field service.
