Sustainability has a greater focus over the past few years. Whether in politics, lifestyle or purchasing decisions - sustainability is playing an increasing role for consumers:
• 89% of consumers care personally about protecting the planet*
• 64% of consumers feel they can make a difference in the world with their choices*
• 83% of consumers would always pick the brand which had a better record of sustainability*
We all benefit from a more sustainable production process: our customers, consumers, and the environment alike. And there are several areas in which the production processes offer potential for improvement:
- Carbon footprint: Optimization and reduction of both energy usage and CO2 emissions are crucial to move towards more sustainable operations
- Resource efficiency: "More with less" and a conscious use of the world's limited resources are key aspects
- Waste reduction: First target is to reduce waste in production processes. Thereafter a second life for the waste generated should be a clear mission.
No matter whether production of baby diapers, femcare or adult incontinence products: The choice of the right adhesives can have a significant positive impact on processes and production conditions!
