A large number of
food packages contain adhesives backed up by the concentrated knowledge of
Henkel, the world’s biggest adhesives manufacturer. This adds to the security
of both customers in the food industry and the consumers of their products. The
“Food Safe Packaging” knowledge platform launched by Henkel one and a half
years ago is now being made even more attractive – with an upgrade to its
Premium Area offering an extensive array of information for people in the food
industry.
The offerings
available on the website www.henkel.com/foodsafety include webinars, white
papers and videos dealing with the key issues of food safe packaging. There is
also a comprehensive online glossary. All it takes is a couple of mouse clicks
to bring the basics up on screen. Those wishing to delve deeper into the topic
are invited to register for access to the Premium Area.
The global Premium
portal has been revamped, with a clearer regional structure to its documentary
resources providing an even better service to decision-makers in specific
countries. Many of the mainly English documents available for downloading on
the knowledge platform have also now been translated into further languages,
including German, French, Spanish and Italian.
A new free text
search functionality, organized according to topic, region and media type,
further facilitates the finding of relevant documents within the portal. And
there is a new FAQ section in which the questions of most importance to
industry decision-makers are competently answered by Henkel experts. The list
also includes many of the questions asked by participants in the course of the
live webinars.
The food packaging
applications for which Henkel adhesives are used range from cereal boxes,
beverage bottle labeling and glossy pouch packages for potato chips, to film
packaging for sausage, cured meats and cheese. With their know-how, Henkel’s
specialists ensure that producers are able to offer the highest possible level
of safety in their food packaging.
Henkel’s Food Safe
Packaging initiative addresses food safety officers, quality managers,
packaging developers, buyers and other stakeholders from the food and beverage
industry who wish to learn more about the issues and developments related to
this important subject.
Integral to this
initiative is Henkel’s commitment to share knowledge, interact and collaborate
with all partners along the value chain. The company is constantly building on
its in-house competence, leveraging its activities in central analytics,
toxicology and product development, and with a specialist team to deal with all
the regulatory issues.
