Circular Economy & Sustainability
Joining forces for a common goal:
Bostik is member of CEFLEX, a collaborative initiative of a
European consortium of companies and associations
representing the entire value chain of flexible packaging.
www.ceflex.eu
Flexible packaging
✓ protects food and extend freshness throughout the supply chain.
✓ enables proper and safe food delivery to the end-consumer.
✓ Customized barrier protection reduces food waste.
Adhesives
✓ enable highly engineered and efficient flexible packaging structures.
✓ enable fast and efficient manufacturing lines: reduced energy consumption
✓ enable packaging reclosability, reducing food waste.
✓ are going solvent-less while keeping performance
✓ expected also to enable recycling and help reducing the overall environmental
impact of flexible packaging, including carbon footprint.
Sustainability is a core value for both Bostik and Arkema
