The trade magazine for the packaging industry
In this episode, we talk to the managing directors of Bühnen GmbH, Bert Gausepohl and Jan-Hendrik Hunke, about the growing importance of adhesives in the packaging industry. Find out how innovative adhesives are contributing to a more environmentally friendly future for the packaging industry.
Episode 23: "We live to stick"
What is the importance of adhesives in the packaging industry? It is clear that sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in the selection of adhesives and packaging materials. However, it is also about taking a holistic view of the bonding process, emphasise the two managing partners of Platform bonding systems GmbH, Bert Gausepohl and Jan-Hendrik Hunke, in conversation with Jan Malte Andresen.
It doesn't work without packaging, and packaging usually doesn't work without adhesive either
The potential for the use of adhesives in the packaging industry is huge, especially in relation to the increasingly popular paper packaging. And so the industry's efforts to develop more sustainable adhesives play an important role. The new EU packaging regulation also has an impact on the work of the adhesives specialist, as stages must ensure that the quality of the bonding is maintained despite all the requirements for recyclability.
Bühnen also offers its customers the ‚Easy for You‘ package, which includes all services relating to the adhesive process in one price.
