By 2025, all of Henkel's packaging should be recyclable, reusable or compostable. Plastic packaging for consumer products in Europe is to consist of 35 per cent recycled plastic by then. These are the most important goals of the D\u00fcsseldorf-based company's expanded packaging strategy. Adhesives are excluded from the reduction targets. Residues there can impair recyclability.<\/p>\n

Henkel sees itself as a leading company in the field of Sustainability<\/strong> and has set itself the goal of designing packaging that fulfils customer requirements while consuming as little material as possible and using the most sustainable raw materials. With the Packaging strategy<\/strong> The three elements of a closed value chain are taken as a basis: Intelligent packaging designs utilise as many recycled or renewable materials as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201eOnly if we reuse and recycle as much material as possible will we be able to live well with our planet's resources in the future.\u201c
\nKathrin Menges<\/strong>, Chief Human Resources Officer and Chairwoman of Henkel's Sustainability Council<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Packaging volume to be reduced overall<\/h2>\n

The aim is also to Significantly reduce the amount of packaging<\/strong> and to optimise the areas of transport and logistics. A great deal of care is also taken to make packaging recyclable or, for example, to optimise it with newly developed Refill systems<\/strong> to be able to reuse them. Research is also being carried out into how materials can be composted if necessary.<\/p>

In order to achieve the goal of a more sustainable packaging industry, Henkel cooperates with various organisations along the entire value chain. For example, the company is a member of the \u201eNew Plastics Economy<\/strong>\u201c, an initiative of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. This promotes the development of a circular economy for plastic products. Henkel also works with the social enterprise \u201ePlastic Bank<\/strong>\u201c together. The Plastic Bank runs development projects in Haiti to collect plastic waste from the sea.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bis zum Jahr 2025 sollen alle Verpackungen von Henkel recycelbar, wiederverwendbar oder kompostierbar sein.
