Lohmann, the German high-tech adhesive tape specialist, is renowned for its multifunctional bonding solutions for various industries and applications. Over its more than 170 year history, the company has developed many innovative products and technologies, which at the same time take sustainability aspects into account.
In recent years, Lohmann GmbH & Co KG has taken significant measures to reduce its environmental footprint and develop sustainable products, such as the latest addition to its product portfolio – the bio-based and solvent free ECO range of adhesive tapes.
The adhesive for the ECO range contains 50% bio-based raw materials and the tape is equipped with a recyclable liner, thus fit for a return into the regular circular economy. The ECO range is also manufactured with Lohmann’s solvent free TwinMelt technology, an award winning coating process that enables adhesive tape production with comparatively low energy consumption and reduced carbon footprint. What’s more, the production at all Lohmann’s German sites, as well as several European ones, is powered by 100% renewable energy, which also significantly reduces the environmental impact.
Lohmann’s sustainability efforts have also been recognised by third party organistions. The company has been awarded the EcoVadis silver seal, a globally acclaimed rating system for corporate social responsibility and sustainability. This rating demonstrates Lohmann’s commitment and its efforts across its supply chain, and business operations, in the areas of ecology, social responsibility and economy. With the silver certificate, the third highest award within the rating, EcoVadis certifies Lohmann’s sustainability commitment as ‘structured’ and ‘proactive’. The seal applies to all Lohmann sites worldwide.
“We are deeply convinced that holistic sustainable action is the best foundation for steadily improving the quality of life for present and future generations,” state Dr Jörg Pohlman, CEO at Lohmann, and Dr Carsten Herzhoff, COO at Lohmann.
