Henkel transitions to low emission with Technomelt Supra 130 Cool

Henkel has optimized its hot melt adhesive Technomelt Supra 130 Cool. The adhesive is now produced with a minimum 20 percent reduction in carbon emissions, measured across the entire cradle-to-gate segment of the value chain. For customers, this means the same bonding performance, complete supply continuity and a more sustainable product delivered.

The chemical formulation of the adhesive, widely used for carton, tray and folding box applications in both food and non-food sectors, remains unchanged. The CO2 reduction is achieved through strategic supplier partnerships that replace fossil fuels with renewable resources and integrate more energy-efficient technologies into existing production processes. Henkel uses these low-emission raw materials at all relevant production sites across Europe, ensuring that every customer using Technomelt Supra 130 Cool benefits from an improved sustainability profile.

Henkel actively supports its customers with the 'same bond, smaller footprint' principle in achieving their sustainability goals. Companies can improve their carbon footprint without any changes to application or logistics. 'A reduction in CO2 emissions across our supply chains is a key step toward lower-emission industrial adhesives,' said Kathrin Hein, vice president, consumer goods, EIMEA at Henkel. 'We’re setting new standards for a more sustainable packaging industry and enabling our customers to meet their sustainability targets.'

Henkel plans to launch additional optimized products from its existing portfolio next year.
