Simulation test of label separation in the glass recycling process
Scope of application
The test method defines the steps and conditions of the test supposed to simulate the first step of the glass recycling process. The reliability of this simulation was validated by industrial tests made on a large scale using pressure-sensitive adhesive-based BOPP (Biaxially Oriented PolyPropylene) film labels.

Labelling on glass
WG chair: Arnaud STAIB - CCL Label S.A.S
This joint working group develops guidelines and best practices for the functional specification for labels and application machines on glass packaging, ensuring proper label adhesion and performance, optimising pressure-sensitive labelling processes, and improving label separation in the glass recycling and reuse processes. By bringing together key stakeholders, including adhesive and label manufacturers, glass producers, labelling machine suppliers, and fillers, the group aims to establish documentation that enhances packaging efficiency, sustainability, and overall performance.
