World Environment Day 2026 - Sustainability in Operations
NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / June 9, 2026 / Henkel manufacturing sites are proud to produce quality adhesive and consumer brands products that have become must-haves in homes and for businesses across North America, and around the world.
More than ever, our production teams are finding innovative ways to produce these high-quality products with less impact on the environment. In recognition of World Environment Day, we are proud to highlight a few of many sustainability success stories from Henkel's front lines.
Adhesive Technologies
Enoree, South Carolina
Targeting the steam system's heavy usage of energy and water, in October 2025 the team at Enoree installed energy-efficient upgrades to the boiler and steam traps, reducing natural gas and water consumption and contributing to the site's water circularity goals. These upgrades are part of a three-phase plan to add efficiency measures throughout the steam system, which will ultimately save more than 8,000 MWh of electricity, 7,300 cubic meters of water and 1,400 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
Warren, Michigan
Thirsty for water savings, the team in Warren developed a 3D printed spacer for use as the membrane in the site's reverse osmosis (RO) water purification system, which feeds the deionization (DI) water system. Since installation of this RO element in October 2025, the site has seen improved DI water flow, reduced system pressure, and increases in overall water efficiency to the tune of 8,000+ cubic meters per year.
Mentor, Ohio
With production increasingly focused on silane modified polymer (SMP) adhesive products, the team in Mentor sought a cure for material waste. In the manufacturing process, once SMP material is exposed to moisture in the atmosphere, the material cures and cannot be re-worked. In the past, this led to large volumes of high-value material going to waste. In November 2025, the site installed an additional buffer press to reclaim previously scrapped material and slowly feed it back into the system. As a result, the site is now producing 272 fewer tons of waste every year and saving significantly in raw materials and disposal costs.
