Synthomer introduces brand with 20% low-PCF offerings

Easily distinguished and identifiable by a CLIMA brand tag that is added as a suffix to the product name, these products deliver at least a 20% reduction in the product carbon footprint (PCF) compared to a specified baseline year. This reduction is achieved through use of more energy-efficient methods or the use of renewable energy in the production process.

The first CLIMA branded products from the REGALITE™ family, manufactured on Synthomer's Middelburg, Netherlands site, are now commercially available.

'We are offering products with a validated and quantifiable CO₂ footprint reduction, which can be counted against our customers' goals, aligned to the Science Based Targets initiative,' said Michaela Hofbauer, vice president of sustainable innovation and marketing for Synthomer's Adhesive Solutions division.

'Reducing the industry's carbon footprint is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration along the whole value chain. We aim to create value for customers and consumers and help them achieve their sustainability goals.'

'By providing our customers with the transparency they need to understand the environmental impact of the products they rely on, we can enable them to make more informed decisions about sustainability,' said Chris Brown, vice president of environment, social and governance at Synthomer.

CLIMA is the latest addition to Synthomer's brand tags, bringing additional clarity and transparency to its customers and value chains. Synthomer's current brand tags include BIO, highlighting products with at least 20% bio-based certified content, helping to reduce reliance on fossil-based resources, and CIRCLE, highlighting products with at least 20% circular certified content, supporting a circular economy.
