Packsize®, a market leader in sustainable, right-sized, on-demand packaging, announced a new partnership with Henkel Adhesive Technologies to enhance the company’s sustainable product offerings, providing innovative solutions that help businesses reduce their environmental impact. This partnership exemplifies Packsize’s prioritization of strategic partnerships in its go-to-market strategy.

Every year, 300 billion boxes are sealed using 500,000 tons of hot-melt adhesive, contributing significantly to global emissions generated by the paper-based packaging industry. To address this, Packsize and Henkel have launched Eco-Pax, a bio-based hot-melt adhesive designed to lower carbon footprints without sacrificing performance.

“At Packsize, sustainability is at the core of everything we do,” said Kristin Bauer, director of product management at Packsize. “By partnering with Henkel, we are expanding our sustainable product offerings with innovative solutions designed to help businesses minimize ecological impacts of their products.”

Eco-Pax utilizes bio-based raw materials, forgoing traditional fossil-based ingredients. The adhesive will be used on more than 340 million boxes produced annually using Packsize’s right-sized packaging machinery. It is estimated to reduce SBTi relevant GHG emissions up to 32%, which is equivalent to the burning of 1.75 million pounds of coal.

“Partnering with an innovative leader like Packsize to launch a bio-based adhesive solution is a big step towards building a more sustainable packaging value chain,” said Kevin Heffernan, head of Business Development, North America, Consumer Goods Adhesives, Henkel Adhesives Technologies. “Together, we’re setting a new standard for sustainability in packaging while delivering the high-performance brands and consumers trust.”
