Henkel Packaging RecycLab Launches Operations In China
Henkel has opened a Packaging RecycLab in Shanghai, China, dedicated to assessing how adhesive technologies can support packaging recycling and propel a transition towards a circular economy. The center will carry out local testing and process opti- misation to bolster Henkel’s service offering for China and the wider Asia‑Pacific region. The integrated laboratory brings together development, testing and evaluation with industry/academic/research collaboration. Industrial Recycling Built around the CEPI/4Evergreen testing framework, the RecycLab simulates industrial recycling processes to generate data to inform packaging design. The data will assist customers in optimizing material choices and pack structures and contribute to efforts to establish a “design‑for‑recycling” closed‑loop system. Henkel’s move is a response to global circular economy initiatives and forthcoming regulatory change such as the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). A delegation from the China Packaging Federation (CPF), led by Chairperson Li Hua, visited the RecycLab and jointly commenced the 2025 Green Packaging Recycling China Tour with Henkel. The company plans to increase innovation investments un China and broaden its cooperative ecosystem, noting that sustainable packaging will require coordinated efforts across the value chain.
