Yes, laminated aluminum foil paper can be recycled. However, it is essential to check with your local recycling facility to ensure they accept this material. Some facilities may require the foil to be separated from the paper backing before recycling.
Meryo has two types of aluminum foil laminates: laminated aluminum foil and wax laminated aluminum foil.
- The glue laminated aluminum foil paper uses a water-based glue to laminate the aluminum foil and paper together. This water-based glue is soluble in water, so the used aluminum foil laminated paper can be separated from the paper by putting it into water and recycled separately.
- For wax laminated aluminum foil paper, high temperatures can be used to separate the aluminum foil from the paper.
