Study Confirms the Recyclability and Repulpability of Foil-Decorated Paper

To conduct the study, foil stamped paper/board was utilized from both the more traditional hot foil stamping process and also the cold foil process. The evaluation included foil decorated product that represented 25 percent post-consumer waste up to 100 percent post-consumer waste, meeting levels that far exceed normal conditions. “It has become quite apparent that this study is extremely important to the long-term health of our industry and association,” stated FSEA Executive Director Jeff Peterson. “We are very excited with the positive findings of the study and are making every effort to communicate these findings to the graphic arts and packaging industries as quickly as possible.”
