BIOSET: new Synthos adhesives in response to sustainability
We are pleased to announce the launch of our new product – BIO adhesives based on renewable raw materials, developed specifically for the wood/furniture and paper/packaging markets. These innovative adhesives not only meet all the strength and durability requirements for which our solutions are renowned, but are also safe for people and the environment.
Our commitment to sustainability stems from the need to respond to dynamically changing climate conditions. We can see the effects of climate change on our environment: milder winters, lack of heavy snowfall, disappearing seasons and increasingly hot summers with violent weather events. These changes are a sign that global warming is accelerating and that decisive action is needed.
A key step in the fight against climate change is to reduce the use of fossil fuels, and to use of sustainable raw materials. At Synthos, we are breaking new ground in sustainability and BIO solutions, including the area of adhesives for the wood/ furniture and paper/packaging markets.
With the use of raw materials from renewable energy sources, our range has been extended with a new brand of adhesives: BIOSET.
Our bio-based adhesives meet all the current requirements for the strength and durability of joints while maintaining the characteristics and properties expected from Synthos adhesives produced from fossil fuels. Each of our existing adhesives, as well as those to be developed in the future, will be available in a BIO version. This will allow customers to use them more quickly and seamlessly on their current production lines, which is crucial for smooth and efficient production.
The content of bio-based raw materials in our adhesives is calculated using mass balance – a certified system for blending raw materials from fossil and renewable sources in existing production processes.
Both Synthos’ production facilities and the suppliers we work with to provide bio-based raw materials are certified according to the leading ISCC Plus mass balance system. In each case, certification is carried out by an external accredited body.
The solutions offered by Synthos accompany us every day – with them, we can stop negative changes in the world around us. We believe that the introduction of innovative solutions such as BIOSET adhesives contributes to the protection of our planet for future generations.
