COLOMBES, France, Dec. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-- As part of the 'Responsibly for Hygiene' programme, Bostik, the adhesive

solutions division of Arkema, has announced the launch of Nuplaviva(TM), a new

range of adhesive solutions formulated with renewable content.

As part of Bostik's drive towards the creation of more sustainable solutions

across the value chain, the disposable hygiene Global Business Unit has

developed the Nuplaviva(TM) range of adhesives, with two products launched so

far and more to come in 2022. Comprising 50% and 75% bio-sourced content

respectively, they meet the same level of performance and ease of

processability as Bostik's traditional adhesive formulations.

"Adding bio-sourced content to our adhesives reduces our dependency--and

ultimately our customers' dependency--on the use of fossil carbon," explains

Christophe Morel-Fourrier, Bostik's Global Marketing Manager, Market Insights

and Sustainable Innovation for the Disposable Hygiene Business Unit. "Resource

conservation is at the heart of our circular model. Bostik as a whole is making

efforts to modify its own manufacturing process, so it is more efficient, less

energy intensive, and generates less waste."

The launch is part of a broader campaign to enable the creation of more

sustainable solutions in the disposable hygiene industry. Bostik's 'Responsibly

for Hygiene' programme includes webinars, podcasts, website content, as well as

additional adhesive solution launches aimed at helping article producers at all

levels expand their knowledge of products, resources, options, and alternatives

available so they can make more informed decisions.

The Nuplaviva range is also perfectly in line with Arkema's efforts to use our

expertise in specialty materials to create more sustainable solutions, that

will support manufacturers in meeting their own sustainable development

objectives—and the sustainable aspirations of their consumers.
