Sustainability has a greater focus over the past few years. Whether in politics, lifestyle or purchasing decisions - sustainability is playing an increasing role for consumers:

• 89% of consumers care personally about protecting the planet*

• 64% of consumers feel they can make a difference in the world with their choices*

• 83% of consumers would always pick the brand which had a better record of sustainability*

We all benefit from a more sustainable production process: our customers, consumers, and the environment alike. And there are several areas in which the production processes offer potential for improvement:

• Carbon footprint: Optimization and reduction of both energy usage and CO2 emissions are crucial to move towards more sustainable operations
• Resource efficiency: "More with less" and a conscious use of the world's limited resources are key aspects
• Waste reduction: First target is to reduce...

Beyond an appealing design, consumers are seeking on-the-go print and packaging solutions with sustainability as a cornerstone and each package needs to give consumers assurance its contents meet the brand's promise. In order to navigate consumer needs, manufacturers are turning towards suppliers who understand their packaging challenges.

As a trusted leader of adhesives, Henkel has developed a range of adhesives for packaging and paper solutions that offers fast bonding for enhanced production processing and increased efficiency. Our packaging adhesives provide excellent adhesion and bonding to a wide variety of surfaces and are used in applications ranging from folding cartons to food and beverage packaging. Additionally, our portfolio of paper converting solutions enables new creative and sustainable design options for both food and non-food applications.

Product packaging is critical to not only attract customer attention but also to keep the product safe and fresh. To stay at the top of their game, manufacturers need to consider sustainability, operational efficiency, and customer experience.

There is an increasing demand for safe, secure, and sustainable packaging driven by heightened awareness on food safety and health.
