Packsize Partners with Henkel for Sustainable Packaging
Packsize, a leader in sustainable packaging solutions, is thrilled to announce its new partnership with Henkel Adhesive Technologies. This collaboration aims to enhance the range of sustainable offerings while providing innovative systems to help businesses minimize their environmental footprint. Through this strategic alliance, both companies are dedicated to redefining packaging standards.
Introducing Eco-Pax: A Game-Changer in Adhesives
In today's world, the paper-based packaging industry significantly impacts global emissions, with approximately 300 billion boxes sealed every year using 500,000 tons of hot melt adhesive. To counteract this, Packsize and Henkel have developed Eco-Pax, a new bio-based hot melt adhesive that allows for reduced carbon footprints without compromising on performance. This revolutionary adhesive will ensure a greener approach to packaging while maintaining high quality in the product.
Commitment to Sustainability
Kristin Bauer, director of product management at Packsize, emphasizes that sustainability is central to their mission. She noted, "Partnering with Henkel allows us to broaden our sustainable product portfolio with ground-breaking solutions meant to aid businesses in addressing ecological concerns." This partnership signifies a crucial step in achieving more eco-friendly packaging methodologies.
A Significant Reduction in Emissions
Eco-Pax is set to be utilized on over 340 million boxes produced annually by Packsize's advanced packaging systems. This is projected to decrease significant greenhouse gas emissions by up to 32%. To put this into perspective, reducing these emissions is comparable to eliminating the burning of 1.75 million pounds of coal.
Transforming Packaging and Logistics
Kevin Heffernan, Henkel's head of Business Development in North America, shared his insights about the partnership, stating, "Working with an innovative leader like Packsize is monumental in advancing a sustainable packaging supply chain. Together, we are setting new benchmarks for eco-friendly solutions while balancing the quality that brands and consumers depend on." This teamwork is indicative of their broader mission to create high-performance solutions.
