ReNATURE
An important component of our sustainability strategy is the introduction of the UHU stic ReNATURE and the UHU twist & glue ReNATURE - quality adhesives in packaging made from renewable materials. Through the replacement of petroleum-based raw materials with bio-plastics made from sugar cane, CO2
emissions can be reduced by 46% and fossil resources can be conserved (48% in the case of UHU stic ReNATURE, 45% in the case of UHU twist & glue ReNATURE*). In the case of UHU stic ReNATURE, an adhesive made from 98% natural ingredients is used.
*In comparison to a standard UHU stic or a traditional UHU twist & glue bottle, as an average over the entire lifecycle (calculated by denkstatt/Vienna, April 2013 and June 2014).
