Sustainability is one of the most important factors when it comes to packaging of goods across the board. The first step when designing packaging in a recycling-friendly way that is also compatible with a circular economy starts by ensuring adhesives and coatings can accommodate alternative materials like paper for various food and nonfood applications. “The main purpose of packaging is protection – and this is still what underpins our strategy. The scope also includes developing adhesives and coatings that help improve recyclability and allow new packaging designs,” explains Alexander Bockisch, Head of Global Market Strategy for Flexible Packaging at Henkel. “Our two latest developments are certified recyclable and can replace plastic packaging. Both sealable coatings enable full recyclability of paper packaging in food and nonfood applications.” According to Euromonitor, the use of flexible paper in snack bars is expected to grow by 20% in Western Europe between 2019 and 2024, to reach 41 million units. In chocolate confectionery, meanwhile, flexible paper remains a niche market, comprising less than 2% of secondary packaging globally. “We see this area as having significant potential for growth if we collaborate closely with our partners along the value chain to design the right packaging solutions, i.e. by providing full recyclability with our latest sealable paper coatings.”
