IMPACT

Adhesives Can Enable Circular Economy Design

Adhesives may seem minor, but they play a crucial role in making products easier to dismantle, recycle, and repurpose. Most commercial options rely on toxic solvent-based formulas, underscoring the need for safer, circular-economy-ready alternatives.

FEATURES

Our Adhesives are:

Reversible

This means adhesion can fail on-demand by exposing the joint to an alkaline wash similar to that used in recycling processes.

Water-based

This makes them more environmentally friendly than commercial adhesives based on volatile organic compounds.

Scalable

Adhesives are produced through conventional manufacturing processes and from commodity materials.

Adaptable

Can be modified to be electrically and thermally conducting, making it appropriate for electronic components.
