FSEA Releases Study On Recycling Metallic Decorated Paperboard The Foil & Specialty Effects Association (FSEA) has an- nounced the release of a new report detailing the re- sults from a newly completed study on the recycling of fiber-based materials with transfer metallic decoration. In 2020, as sustainability issues came to the forefront of the print decorating industry, FSEA commissioned a study to be undertaken by the Georgia Tech Renewable Bioproducts Institute. The comprehensive testing demon- strated that transfer metallic decorated paper and board do not create problems in the recyclability/repulpability of paper and/or board in a common repulping process. The new study now available through FSEA has taken a further step to test transfer metallic decorated fiber-based materials and demonstrate that it actually is being recy- cled by Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) throughout the United States and North America. Through exten- sive testing at the Van Dyk Technology Center, the study demonstrates that fiber-based transfer metallic decorated materials are recyclable and currently are being sorted by MRFs to be included in the recycling stream. “FSEA believed it was vitally important to take an ad- ditional step in our sustainability efforts and demonstrate that transfer metallic decorated paper/board is being recy- cled at the MRFs,” said FSEA Director Jeff Peterson.
