Study Results - Foil Recyclability

The Foil Stamping & Embossing Association (FSEA) recently published a new study confirming the recyclability and repulpability of foil-decorated paper and board. 

The main conclusion validates the recyclability of paper products decorated by both the traditional hot stamp and new cold foil processes.

The FSEA is committed to providing its members and the industry at large with the tools to address the growing number of questions regarding the topic of sustainability.  For a complete copy of the study, contact the FSEA at (785)271.5816, or jeff@fsea.com.
