Sustainability is at the heart of what we do.

Whether you’re looking to transition from solvent-based to water-based solutions, or overcome a specific functional challenge with an application, we’re focused on formulating a solution that’s right for you and that drives towards a more circular economy in flexible packaging.

Application-specific focus

Finding the right solution for our customers doesn’t begin and end with product selection. Our conversations start with what is driving the need to explore a new approach. We understand the trends shaping the future of flexible packaging and how they impact the needs of packaging producers.

In each of our application centers – strategically-located on every continent – our experts listen intently to customer needs, test meticulously, and collaborate with customers to face challenges head-on as a truly collaborative team. This partnership approach will continue as we innovate the next generation of adhesives for the flexible packaging market that will enhance the performance of applications further while reducing packaging waste.

Key sustainability trends we can help you to address

As regulations surrounding the sustainability of packaging continue to evolve, we remain at the forefront of innovation that directly addresses the needs of the market.

We can support customers with solutions that address…

The rise of paperization

Moving from plastic to paper-based packaging is gaining momentum as consumers demand more sustainable solutions and regulations tighten on plastic waste.

The move to water-based chemistry

Environmental regulations, sustainability goals and advances in water-based chemistries that enhance performance, are driving the transition away from solvent-based solutions.

Designing for recyclability

Adhesive selection, substrate composition and coatings all impact the ability of flexible packaging to be recycled. By taking all these factors into account from the outset, packaging can be designed and manufactured to better aid recyclability.

Global regulatory changes

A host of regulations underscore the global shift towards sustainable packaging. To name but a few – the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the United Nations Global Plastics Treaty, broader Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and state-level PFAS bans in the USA.
