[greenyes] Pressure Sensitive Adhesives- recycling

["Patterson, Chanel" <CPatters@no.address>]

I realized that there was a problem with non- water soluble PSA's that would
inhibit recycling for certain sticky notes and other paper products. As of
now, there are companies manufacturing water soluble adhesives or
environmentally benign adhesives that the US Postal Service uses, etc that
are easier to recycle. 

I was wondering if PSA's that are non- water soluble are a thing of the
past. Are all companies required to manufacture PSA's that are water soluble
or is there a mixture in the market of water and non water soluble PSA's. 

Any information on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
