This partnership brings together two components of the packaging and consumer goods value chain – adhesives and coatings and downstream recycling expertise. By working together, both companies make the creation of sustainable packaging and consumer goods solutions as accessible and simplified as possible for all stakeholders along the value chain. The partnership will give customers a more comprehensive and aligned service offering through the combined know-how of the two companies.
This includes access to in-house testing and certification, joint material science R&D as well as consultation on sustainable packaging design. This is in line with Henkel’s strategy for a holistic approach to sustainability and circular economy across the entire packaging & consumer goods value chain.
“As a leader in bonding, sealing and coating, we see it as our responsibility to drive sustainability both upstream and downstream across the value chain,” says Csaba Szendrei, corporate senior vice president and global head of Henkel´s packaging and consumer goods division. “This important partnership with CHI is laying the cornerstone for our vision of a 360-degree packaging and consumer goods competence centre. It also allows us to accelerate our development cycles and integrate recyclability assessment even earlier in the design process.”
