Smart Packaging Solutions Focused on Aspects of Safety & Sustainability
Henkel Adhesive Technologies has been developing smart packaging solutions for food, beverages and household products for many years. The product portfolio is particularly focused on the aspects of safety and sustainability, avoiding the use of basic substances such as bisphenol A (BPA) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for example.
Henkel also presented its Triple Safety program at the trade fair for metal packaging. To avoid any risks for users, all substances are subjected to a toxicological assessment and then eliminated if they are proven to be harmful. Henkel has partnered with the Austrian research and testing institute OFI in the field of sealants.
During a presentation at the METPACK 2023 Conference, Henkel presented a risk assessment of BPA-NI coatings for metal packaging with a focus on the aspect of food contact. Henkel also does not use any chemicals under discussion in its coatings to ensure food safety for humans and animals.
