Bio-based adhesives increase the usage of sustainable materials in products. Henkel’s recent Innovation, TECHNOMELT DM ECO, offers 70% bio-based content for maximum performance and purity.
Reducing the carbon footprint of nonwoven products is the challenge for the hygiene industry. For example, disposable diapers are typically made from a combination of fossil-based materials, including plastic, which is derived from petroleum, and wood pulp, which is processed using fossil fuels. This is why we need to act now. And minimize our dependence on fossil-based materials.
Technomelt DM ECO enables hygiene manufacturers to achieve their sustainability goals while meeting the highest regulatory and end-user requirements.
