Where innovation and competitiveness meet the circular economy: the multiplying effect of a strong European adhesives and sealants industry

A competitive adhesive and sealant industry is essential to achieving the EU’s sustainability and economic goals. Europe strives for greater competitiveness through innovative industries, and, as advanced materials, adhesives and sealants have proven to be both versatile and innovative. As providers of specialised solutions, we play a crucial role across all industrial sectors, supporting their competitiveness and enabling them to deliver on circular economy objectives. To realise this potential, regulatory frameworks must be science-based, balanced and technology-neutral. They must also support innovation, investment and industrial competitiveness, creating the conditions for the European industry to thrive.
