    tesa, the international manufacturer of innovative adhesive tapes and self-adhesive product solutions, partners with key supplier BASF to use emission-saving Biomass Balanced (BMB) acrylic monomers. This shared success enables tesa to increase product sustainability and reduce emissions. BMB acrylic monomers from BASF come with a 100% substitution of fossil with renewable raw materials, such as bio-naphtha or bio-methane, in the value chain. As a result, switching to BMB acrylic monomers enables tesa to reduce the CO\u2082 footprint of its products, without compromising on quality or performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Underscoring commitment to sustainability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Sustainability is part of tesa’s corporate strategy. The company pursues a science-based approach, with more than 600 scientists, engineers and product developers striving to establish innovative and more sustainable products and processes worldwide. With its latest collaboration for sustainability with long-term partner BASF, tesa is making important progress toward its ambitious action areas: Reducing emissions and using more BMB materials.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \u201cWe have made sustainability a priority for tesa and are bringing even more creativity in our search for solutions that reduce our carbon footprint,\u201d says Dr. Stefan R\u00f6ber, Chief Sustainability Officer at tesa<\/strong>. \u201cThis success with one of our key suppliers is an exciting step forward for our sustainability agenda. By innovating together, we can maximize our positive progress \u2013 and continue our company\u2019s longstanding commitment to improving our products in a more sustainable way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThis innovation partnership marks a proud moment in our efforts to enable products with a low carbon footprint,\u201d says Dr. Reiner Geier, Senior Vice President Industrial Petrochemicals Europe at BASF<\/strong>. \u201cExpert teams at BASF and tesashare a passion for science-based sustainability. This flexible biomass balanced project is a strong example of how companies can collaborate along the value chain to achieve measurable reductions in CO\u2082 emissions, while maintaining the same levels of performance and quality that customers expect from leading brands.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Switching to BMB acrylic monomers is now enabling tesa to introduce new and more sustainable tapes with lower carbon footprint because the fossil-based raw materials in the value chain are replaced by certified renewable biomass feedstock. However, all products still have the same chemical composition and deliver the same trusted levels of quality, performance, and versatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The tesa plant in Hamburg is one of the plants that will produce tesa products with BMB acrylic monomers in the future to expand the use of these more sustainable raw materials. tesa plant Hamburg was awarded the ISCC PLUS certificate1<\/sup>in July 2023. The company also aims to win ISCC PLUS certification for additional sites around the world in the coming months. In this way, tesa aims to keep driving progress toward its sustainability strategy \u2013 and to continue its long tradition of improving products in a more sustainable way for more than 125 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1  This certificate is presented by International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC), a leading certification organization that supports sustainable supply chains. The voluntary ISCC PLUS certification scheme covers the bioeconomy and circular economy across industries globally and is widely recognized by governments and industry associations.<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n

Around three quarters of the tesa Group\u2019s sales (2022: EUR 1.7 billion euro) are generated by applications for industries. Together with its international clients, tesa develops innovations that are customized at product and process level. Already more than 130 tesa tapes may be installed in an electric car and over 70 in a smartphone. In the printing and construction industries, too, tesa is constantly penetrating new segments and countries with its special adhesive tapes. The company generates almost one quarter of its sales with products for end consumers and professional craftsmen. 300 applications, such as the legendary tesafilm\u00ae, make life easier or, when it comes to insect protection, even make it a bit more pleasant. tesa counts among the world\u2019s leading manufacturers of adhesive solutions. Since 2001, tesa SE is an independent 100% affiliate of Beiersdorf AG (i.e., NIVEA, Eucerin, la prairie) with approx. 5,000 employees today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
