New partnership with Braskem and Avery Dennison

EEQO partners with Braskem and Avery Dennison

Today we are very proud to introduce our new partnership with Braskem and Avery Dennison.

In our journey to create a total sustainable value chain, our so called ” EEQO Sustainability Chain“, we asked our label producer for a sustainable label solution. Together with Braskem and Avery Dennison we are now launching the new sugar-cane-based-self-adhesive labels for our products. This new label delivers the same white quality as “normal” labels but contribute to a better environment.
