Artimeltrepulpable is a hot melt adhesive designed for eco-friendly paper recycling. It can be filtered out from pulp during repulping, ensuring high-quality recycled paper.
This adhesive solution benefits both the paper and cardboard industries by facilitating sustainable recycling processes. During paper recycling, adhesives like labels can affect fiber quality, but Artimeltrepulpable does not compromise the process.
Tests show that when used, all adhesive residues and attached fibers are effectively filtered out. The “RejectScore” reached an outstanding 93 out of 100, demonstrating superior filtration performance and minimal fiber loss.
Using Artimeltrepulpable ensures that the recycled pulp remains free of adhesive residues, making it suitable for producing higher-quality paper and cardboard products. It also maintains low impurity levels, supporting the production of clean, recycled materials.
In addition, sheet adhesion tests revealed that Artimeltrepulpable prevents adhesion problems, with sheets showing no issues of sticking or multi-sheet feeding. This confirms its suitability for recycled paper applications.
The overall performance score of Artimelt L1 945, the first in the Artimeltrepulpable family, was 88. This indicates excellent recyclability, confirming its compatibility with standard paper mills.
Beyond paper, this adhesive can be used in packaging, labeling, and bonding recycled cardboard boxes. It offers a clean, environmentally friendly solution that supports circular economy principles.
Artimelt’s approach emphasizes eco-friendly raw materials, sustainable production, and end-of-life recyclability. Their adhesives are designed to minimize environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle.
A key metric is the product carbon footprint (PCF), measuring greenhouse gas emissions from raw material extraction to factory gate. Artimelt’s improved paper recyclability extends product use cycles, reducing overall environmental impact.
Artimelt can provide ecological footprint assessments for specific products or customer-specific adhesives, supporting environmentally conscious manufacturing.
Artimeltrepulpable promotes sustainable recycling, reduces waste, and helps create cleaner, higher-quality recycled paper and packaging—contributing to a greener future.
