INNOVATION_{UNDERSTANDING CHANGE, SHAPING THE FUTURE}

Modern-day packaging is expected to fulfil a whole host of requirements. It needs to protect products, meet growing consumer expectations in terms of sustainability, and support the circular economy – all while ensuring conformity with legal requirements, such as EU packaging regulations. At this year’s ‘Sustainability in Packaging’ conference in Barcelona and the ‘Sustainable Packaging Summit’ in Utrecht, Henkel will be presenting practical solutions to help companies overcome these challenges.

In line with its  Sustainability Ambition 2030, Henkel Adhesive Technologies is continuously enhancing the transparency of the environmental impact of its products. This commitment, known as end-to-end transparency, is based on reliable data and consistent measurement methodologies aligned with internationally recognized standards. As part of this approach, Henkel`s construction adhesives business is offering an increasing number of Environmental Product Declarations ‏(EPDs). These declarations provide detailed insights into the environmental footprint of individual products, enabling both Henkel and its customers to make more informed decisions and identify opportunities for continuous sustainability improvements. 

The challenges of e-commerce continue to grow: increasing shipping volumes, rising material and logistics costs, and the need for more sustainable packaging solutions are putting pressure on companies. Henkel's white paper "The perfect fit – Packaging Automation in e-commerce” now provides sound guidance for companies looking to optimize their packaging processes.
