Across all industries, companies are being confronted with the growing significance of sustainable products, production and logistics processes. For the packaging and consumer goods industry, this subject will be of central importance in 2020 and present a challenge for the entire supply chain. As a world-leading manufacturer of adhesives, Henkel’s series of webinars this year will focus particularly on the subject of sustainability and share the company’s expertise in this area. The 2020 webinars include tried-and-trusted formats on subjects that have already changed the packaging industry over recent years, and which are now becoming even more important, such as circular economy or bio-based and biodegradable solutions.
