To compete in the evolving sustainability landscape, manufacturers need to invest in current technologies and new chemistries to develop products with validated sustainability claims.
Examining the manufacturing process and chemistries of key materials used for packaging materials, such as latex binders, can help the industry keep up with the increased demand for parcel shipping while also meeting sustainability requirements.
As suppliers to the building and construction industry strive to provide sustainable products, a plywood manufacturer uses lignin-based binder to reduce carbon emissions of its product.
By prioritizing a more diverse portfolio, such as one that incorporates both styrene acrylic- and acrylic-based latexes, companies can ensure they can adjust their production as needed.
Trinseo will showcase its extensive portfolio of all acrylic, styrene acrylic, and styrene butadiene latex binder innovations at the European Coatings Show.
