Good Practices

The adhesive and sealant industry has a focus on creating products that foster sustainability

Our industry can trace its origins back to the days of making 'glue' from natural products such as tree sap and starch, through to today’s high-tech adhesives that make our cars, aeroplanes and rockets safer.  

Adhesives and sealants play an essential role in thousands of everyday items: from a plaster on a cut knee to holding together a mobile phone and weather-proofing of a house. Many manufacturers rely on the adhesive and sealant industry to make millions of products possible and produce products in a more cost-effective and sustainable manner.

Here are some examples of good practice in the use of adhesives and sealants and how companies run their business to improve sustainable operations.
