In September, Henkel will be showcasing adhesive solutions for packaging and palletising at Fachpack. The company is focusing on innovative and sustainable solutions that are characterised, for example, by bio-based material content or ISCC Plus certification.
Handle will present its portfolio of adhesive solutions, which are well suited to the variety of different packaging challenges: These include a carbon-negative bio-based adhesive and hot melt adhesives with low application temperature from the Technomelt series or innovative solutions for reducing plastic waste by gluing multiple packs and palletising.
"More sustainable packaging requires a holistic approach that includes the entire value chain in the packaging industry. At Henkel, we want to set new sustainability standards in our industry. As a pioneer in adhesive technologies, we understand how adhesives can impact the sustainability of consumer goods packaging and develop innovative solutions that support our customers' sustainability goals. We are very much looking forward to showcasing our holistic approaches at Fachpack 2022 - not only through the innovative products and processes we will be showcasing at our stand, but also through transparency and our close collaboration with customers and suppliers."

The company will present Technomelt Supra ECO: the first carbon-negative hot melt adhesive. The adhesive is produced with a high proportion of bio-based materials and offers full traceability of the carbon footprint and sustainable sourcing of raw materials thanks to an ISCC PLUS-certified mass balance approach. This enables manufacturers and brand owners to Develop and produce environmentally friendly packagingwithout compromising the high performance of the adhesives.
The company is also presenting the Technomelt Supra COOL series of hotmelt adhesives with a low application temperature. These have been developed to minimise Improve production efficiency and reduce downtime. Technomelt Supra COOL adhesives for housing and carton sealing are applied at lower temperatures - up to 40 per cent lower than conventional adhesives. The lower application temperature offers significant advantages by minimising the Increases the durability of the adhesives, maintains viscosity stability and at the same time extends the service life of the deviceswhich reduces maintenance costs and improves the start-up time. In addition, the low application temperature of the COOL series helps to reduce energy consumption.
Packaging needs to be transported safely and efficiently - but the stretch film used to wrap parcels on pallets generates plastic waste. Technomelt Supra PS palletising solutions offer a sustainable solution. At Fachpack Henkel will show how Adhesives can be used to stack packages efficiently and stow them securely on pallets to reduce waste. and overall costs can be reduced. These specially developed adhesives not only reduce or eliminate the need for plastic films, they also reduce the need for interlayer materials and can be integrated into the production process to enable greater automation.
"We are already looking forward to meeting our customers and partners at Fachpack and discussing how we can help address their sustainability challenges in packaging design. From producing adhesives with a lower carbon footprint, to enabling sustainable production processes, to offering better solutions that ensure products arrive safely to customers, Henkel can help every step of the way."
