Companies in industry and construction are becoming more aware of the environmental impact of their purchasing decisions. As a result, adhesives and sealants manufacturers are increasingly demanding sustainable products — a trend that is driving change in the packaging sector. medmix, a leading provider of liquid application and mixing technologies, is supporting its customers by integrating sustainability into its product development process. It is the company's goal to reduce the environmental footprint through impactful actions in the areas of energy use, water usage and waste management, as well as in the product development process.
Gerry Hernandez, Head of Global Product Management Adhesives at medmix, says, “Traditionally, packaging has been defined by price, performance and quality. However, customer demand for sustainability offers businesses like us a new dimension in which our products can excel. We have implemented sustainability into our product development process and are continually building our knowledge, applying it to new and existing products so that we can stay ahead of the curve and meet customer sustainability requirements.”
