Panel, in particular a floor, ceiling, or wall panel; a covering constructed by a multitude of such panels; and a method for the recycling of such a panel

A decorative panel of a planar design having a top side and bottom side, and multiple side edges,

• the panel has a structure of laminated layers that are adhered to each other, wherein the laminated layers extend parallel to the plane of the panel, and comprise:
• - core layer having a lower side and an upper side, and
• a substantially rigid, decorative top layer which is provided on the upper side of the core layer either directly or indirectly,
• wherein the panel comprises at least one pair of two opposite side edges which are provided with respective interconnecting profiles that are complementary to each other,
• wherein at least two layers of the laminated structure, are directly or indirectly adhered to each other by a switchable adhesive having an adjustable adhesive strength,
• wherein the switchable adhesive is free of starch,
• wherein the adhesive strength of the switchable adhesive is adjustable from an operational value suitable for the panel during its use, to a value suitable for the panel to be recycled, by exposing the switchable adhesive that is present between the two adhered layers to irradiation,
• wherein the value of the adhesive strength of the switchable adhesive promotes a clean delamination of the two adhered layers, and
• wherein the top layer is at least partially permeable for irradiation used to switch adjust the strength of the switchable adhesive.
