SH6020-W PLUS wins 2026 FINAT Sustainability Award

Our innovative wash-off adhesive solution has been recognised in the Reduction of Environmental Impact category, supporting a more circular future for glass packaging.

We are proud to announce that Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives has won the 2026 FINAT Sustainability Award in the Reduction of Environmental Impact category with SH6020-W PLUS, our recently launched adhesive solution designed to support both reusable and single-use glass packaging.

The award was announced on 12 November during the Sustainable Packaging Summit in Utrecht, the Netherlands, recognising innovations that contribute to reducing the environmental impact of the label industry.

Selected from 34 entries and 12 finalists across three categories, the winning solutions highlight the importance of combining technical performance with more sustainable packaging practices.

One adhesive solution, two packaging lifecycles

Developed from our proven SH6020 PLUS technology, SH6020-W PLUS combines reliable adhesion during use with effective wash-off performance, when paired with selected approved wet-strength paper facestocks.

Designed for the Wine & Spirits industry, the solution enables brands to use a single labelling approach for both reusable and single-use glass bottles, supporting bottle reuse and glass recycling without compromising label performance or premium aesthetics.

Its versatility also allows brand owners, printers and converters to simplify material specifications across markets while maintaining compatibility with existing labelling equipment.

Innovation recognised by the industry

The FINAT jury recognised SH6020-W PLUS for its ability to address two important packaging challenges: ensuring secure label adhesion throughout the product lifecycle while enabling effective removal when required.

This recognition reinforces our commitment to developing innovative self-adhesive solutions that respond to evolving market needs and support the transition towards more circular packaging models.

At Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives, we believe innovation and sustainability must go hand in hand, delivering solutions that combine the performance our customers expect today with the flexibility needed for tomorrow.
