Sustainability and cases in focus
According to FEICA, the following are some examples how the adhesive and sealant industry supports the European Commission’s Goals:
- The industry’s adoption of digital technologies that are revolutionising the way businesses operate, setting new standards for efficiency, productivity, and innovation, as well as the importance of assembling electronic devices
- Windmills, solar panels, batteries, the insulation of buildings and light-weight vehicles (essential for renewable energy and energy savings)
- Medical and dental care, prostheses and masks (essential for good health and well-being)
- Products used for electrolysers to produce hydrogen, sustainable biogas and biomethane, for carbon capture and storage, and for power grids (essential for products relating to the EU strategic Industries)
- Water membranes and filters (essential for clean water and sanitation)
- Reusable packaging (essential for avoiding food waste)
