  • Adhesives and sealants sustainability role in construction.pdf

    For members Uploaded June 28, 2022

    Complete FEICA study: 'Adhesives and sealants’ key sustainability role in the transition pathway for the construction ecosystem'

    Recent legislative initiatives, such as the EU Green Deal, cover the construction sector with specific provisions, addressing all levels, from entire buildings to construction elements, and to the materials used for their production and installation. The environmental performance of adhesives and sealants used in the construction sector is therefore of high interest.

    FEICA commissioned an extensive analysis on the sustainability performance of adhesives and sealants. The analysis provides an overview of key aspects of sustainability related to adhesives and sealants in the construction sector, with consideration being given to such matters as energy efficiency and material efficiency.

    The full report 'Adhesives and sealants’ key sustainability role in the transition pathway for the construction ecosystem' is now available for members. A summary of the report is also available on the FEICA public website via this link.

  • FEICA Construction Webinar presentation.pdf

    Presentation of the FEICA webinar ‘Adhesives & sealants in the transition pathway for the construction ecosystem’

    On 24 May 2022, FEICA hosted a webinar titled ‘Adhesives & sealants in the transition pathway for the construction ecosystem’. 

    The key takeaways were:

    - The energy efficiency of buildings is a key element of a climate neutral European Union. Adhesives and sealants are integral to thermal insulation and decarbonised heating solutions.

    - Material efficiency addresses the (carbon) footprint embodied in construction materials themselves and the quantities of future demolition waste. Adhesives and sealants support weight reduction and the use of lower footprint construction materials. During the use phase of a building, adhesives and sealants facilitate maintenance, repair and renovation functions.

    - When construction elements or entire buildings reach their end-of-life, multiple approaches exist for reuse and recycling. With the right design, adhesives and sealants applications can enable circularity at the end-of-life. 

    You can download a summary of FEICA’s report 'Adhesives and sealants’ key sustainability role in the transition pathway for the construction ecosystem'. The full report will be made available on the FEICA Extranet soon. You can watch the recording of the webinar here.

    FEICA’s input to the European Commission plan to initiate a Renovation Wave

    This paper highlights the key role our industry plays in delivering materials, products and technologies which ensure important aspects of circularity and sustainable development in the construction value chain. The “European Green Deal”, which aims to shape the EU economy for a sustainable future, was launched in December 2019 and gives due consideration to climate, green energy and industry-supported circularity. One particular focus of the European Green Deal is on the building sector and the planned Renovation Wave.

    The European construction sector calls for urgent measures to protect workers’ health, support economic activity and accelerate the recovery under COVID-19


    FEICA, as part of Construction Products Europe (CPE), participated in the call upon public authorities to take into account the scale of the disruptions to the construction supply chain and sector. Among others, the European signatory associations ask that tailor-made health and safety measures are put in place for the sector to prevent the foreseen economic downturn from becoming a meltdown of historic proportions with far-reaching social consequences.
