Soudal has announced it will start using Bluemint® steel in its one-component foam production.
The Belgian company said the move is part of a continuous effort to utilise more sustainable packaging, with the new packaging technology leading to a significant reduction of CO2 emisisons.
Bluemint steel is a brand owned by German steel producer ThyssenKrupp. It is produced in such a way that enables CO2 emissions of 64%, whilst the quality remains at the same high standard, according to Soudal.
The first Soudal products that will be packed in the Bluemint steel cans are Soudal Flexifoam®, Soudafoam® PURE and Soudal SMX® Foam.
From the beginning of this year, Soudal said it will gradually change more cans of the Soudal branded one-component foams to Bluemint steel cans, based on availability.
Dirk Coorevits, CEO of Soudal, said: “We have been taking our responsibility as a business in the chemical and construction sectors seriously for many years, but as the climate crisis becomes more and more apparent, we will shift up a gear. We are proud that with the introduction of Bluemint steel packaging, we take another step in our sustainable journey and hope to keep increasing our impact on a better world.”
