(PRESS RELEASE) DÜSSELDORF, 2-Sep-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Henkel has taken another step toward measurable sustainability by optimizing its hot melt adhesive Technomelt Supra 130 Cool, delivering the same trusted bonding performance with a significantly smaller carbon footprint. Now produced with a minimum 20% reduction in CO₂ emissions measured across the entire cradle-to-gate value chain, the adhesive provides customers with a more sustainable solution without requiring any changes in application or logistics.

Technomelt Supra 130 Cool, widely used in carton, tray, and folding box packaging across food and non-food industries, retains its original formulation to ensure full performance and food safety.

By using these low-emission raw materials at all relevant production sites in Europe, Henkel ensures that every customer benefits from the improved sustainability profile.

Guided by the principle “Same bond. Smaller footprint.”, Henkel supports its customers in meeting their sustainability goals while maintaining supply continuity and product reliability.
