Near Carbon Neutral Packaging Adhesive

There is only one Earth, and we have a responsibility to protect it. It is the right, kind, and ethical thing to do.  

That is why we have developed Advantra® Earthic™ 9370 near carbon neutral packaging adhesive 

And we are not alone in this commitment. Global brand owners are pledging to long-term sustainability goals. Organizations are establishing partnerships to foster alignment and change. Governments are building policies and regulations to advance sustainability around the world. 

Carbon Footprint Reduction

 Advantra® Earthic™ 9370 enables sustainability focused brand owners to reduce the environmental impact of their packaging by using a near carbon neutral adhesive linked to a high share of sustainable raw materials, while ensuring excellent performance. 

In fact, based on an average Advantra adhesive consumption of 100 tons per year, switching to Advantra® Earthic™ 9370 saves 276 tons of CO2 emissions per year ¹. This reduction in emissions equates to an average gasoline-powered car journey of 1,032,988 kilometres  ². A journey length that would see you travel around the Earth’s Equator over 25 times!

Certified Positive Impact

Advantra® Earthic™ 9370 sustainable packaging adhesive is linked to a high share of fossil-free, circular and bio-circular raw materials via mass balance and is manufactured in a ISCC PLUS certified production plant, providing full supply chain traceability.  

The mass balance approach is an established method of tracking the flow of sustainable raw materials in and finished products out of a closed production operation and provides a guarantee that a certain amount of sustainable raw materials has been sourced in the production process. 

Upgrading a packaging operation to Advantra® Earthic™ 9370 sustainable hot melt will make a positive contribution to a sustainable future by investing in a high share of bio and bio-circular raw materials and reducing the carbon impact. 

Packaging Performance Maintained

Advantra® Earthic™ 9370 maintains the level of performance achieved with our standard Advantra® case and carton sealing grades. It delivers an excellent balance of adhesion and cohesion to ensure your production lines run consistently at existing production speeds, while ensuring that a strong bonding performance across a variety of typical board qualities is maintained in the package use temperatures from fridge to 60ºC (140ºF).
