The European Union (EU) has approved revisions to its rules on packaging and packaging waste as part of its Green Deal initiative. The latex binder industry is also facing the challenge of adapting to these changing regulations and sustainability expectations. There is an expectation that further regulations may be introduced in the future.
To meet these evolving requirements, the industry is reimagining the composition, use, and disposal of materials. The goal is to facilitate a transition to a circular economy and achieve net-zero emissions. This shift involves the development of new products and processes.
Hence, Trinseo is taking significant steps to enhance the sustainability of latex binders, particularly in the paper and board packaging industry, through its CO2NET™ product portfolio. This informative blog gives you detailed information about this noval initiative.
