Follmann and its subsidiary Sealock have developed a sustainable adhesive made from bio-based raw materials for bonding compostable plastic coatings.<\/p>\n

Climate change makes a Rethinking<\/strong> This is essential both in industry and politics as well as for consumers. An important global goal is to move away from fossil fuels and reduce CO2 emissions<\/strong> significantly. With its newly developed adhesive made from regenerative raw materials<\/strong> Follmann offers its customers the opportunity to purchase fully compostable and therefore Environmentally friendly products<\/strong> produce.<\/p>\n

In Germany alone, according to a recent study by the Federal Environment Agency 2.8 billion disposable coffee-to-go cups consumed every year<\/strong>, including 40 per cent pure plastic cups and 60 per cent paper cups, which, however, are coated and glued with plastic on the inside and are therefore similar to the paper cups.

Environmentally friendly adhesive<\/h2>\n

To make disposable paper cups fully compostable, it is necessary to switch to a Environmentally friendly material for the interior coating<\/strong> This also applies to the adhesive. Follmann and its subsidiary Sealock have been working on the development of such an adhesive.<\/p>\n

George Thomas, Technical R&D Manager at the Sealock Group, took an in-depth look at various Organic raw materials<\/strong>, the associated supply chains and the potential for innovation.<\/p>
