Henkel to host weekly webinars as part of food packaging safety initiative

Adhesive manufacturer Henkel is to host a series of weekly webinars looking at topics related to food safe packaging.

 

Henkel recently launched the Food Safe Packaging program to provide food safety officers, quality managers, packaging developers, purchasers and others with information about food packaging safety.

 

The weekly live webinars on www.henkel.com/foodsafety will see adhesives experts from the company talk about the latest research and development results relating to packaging, the general requirements that food packaging has to satisfy and the significance of innovative adhesive solutions in this domain.

 

Henkel said the purpose of the live webinars is to “shed light on important issues surrounding food packaging safety”. Participants will also be able to put their questions live and online to the Henkel presenters while the webinars are still in progress.

 

Once interested parties have registered, they will also gain access to the premium area of the Food Safe Packaging web portal, which offers further webinars, white papers, a comprehensive glossary, and videos covering a range of key issues.
