FSEA Releases Presentation On Recyclability Of Metallics On Paper The Foil & Specialty Effects Association (FSEA) announced the release of a presentation on the “Repulpability/Recy- clability of Metallic Transfer Decorating on Paper/Board.” Based on laboratory studies and tests commissioned by FSEA and other leaders in the print finishing industry, the presentation communicates pertinent and accurate
tallic transfer foils to provide education on the process. The presentation then offers information on the negligible amounts of aluminum contained in metallic transfer foils. It includes details on the measurement of the aluminum and examples of how little aluminum is in the construction of metallic transfer foils. The presentation also discusses the recent study com- missioned by FSEA on the Repulpability of Foil Decorated Paper/Board. It provides information on how the study was conducted and the results, which includes details confirm- ing that it is feasible to repulp paper that includes metallic transfer foil as it is done in common recycling settings. The presentation includes details on a separate study conducted by Western Michigan University on cold foil transfer that discusses the scope of the study and details the conclusion that cold foil transfer samples submitted for the study were 100 percent repulpable and recyclable. For more information on the presentation, as well as a copy of the Repulpability of Foil Decorated Paper/Board study, Western Michigan Cold Foil Transfer study and the negligible amount of aluminum in metallic transfer foils, contact Jeff Peterson at FSEA: jeff@fsea.com. The FSEA provides a wide range of resources to help print finishing companies remain profitable today and into the future. From tangible benefits offered through cost-saving programs to educational opportunities to green initiatives, FSEA strives to provide its members with ideas, data and solutions. Visit fsea.com .
