Accidents happen. Water-based and protein glues are popular for packaging, laminating, and labeling applications and need to be applied as a liquid. The risk of having an accidental spill increases when glues are in the liquid state. 

Consumer brands are taking action to reduce their carbon footprint by setting sustainability goals. Often, these goals involve using a clean energy supply, sustainable use of resources, and sustainable transport. Ultimately, companies are focusing on shifting their processes to support a circular economy.

Reducing the impact of human activity is increasingly becoming more critical. Businesses large and small in the packaging industry are working to develop alternative production methods that are more eco-conscious. You’ve probably seen packaging and labels with words like biodegradable, compostable, eco-friendly, and sustainable, but what does that mean?

The manufacturing world is continually moving forward, and being at the forefront of innovation is key to providing better sealing and adhesives solutions to customers. Glue is an element that many often don't consider, but it is vitally important when producing packaging.
