Adhesive & Sealant Day Highlights Industry's Role in Sustainability International Adhesive & Sealant Day, celebrated each year on 29th September, gives everyone an ideal opportunity to highlight how the industry’s products are crucial in a modern world and help create a more sustainable society. Example of Collaboration Across Different Value Chains The International Adhesive & Sealant Day website provides insights on how adhesives and sealants contribute to a sustainable society: renewable energy and smart grids, durable constructions, heritage preservation, medical care, and packaging recyclability, to name but a few. “The adhesives and sealants industry shows an example of collaboration across different value chains and markets to better and rapidly respond to regulatory and citizens’ demands for products that meet circular requirements. We hope that everyone will share our enthusiasm to put our amazing global industry in the spotlight today as we celebrate the second International Adhesive & Sealant Day,” said Kristel Ons, FEICA secretary general. Support European Commission’s Goals In Europe, in particular, the following are some examples of how the industry supports the European Commission’s goals: Renewable energy and energy savings: windmills, solar panels, batteries, the insulation of buildings, and light-weight vehicles Good health and well-being: medical and dental care, and prostheses and masks Products relating to the EU strategic industries: electrolyzers to produce hydrogen, sustainable biogas and biomethane, for carbon capture and storage, and for power grids Clean water and sanitation: water membranes and filters Avoidance of food waste: reusable packaging Find out more at the International Adhesive & Sealant Day website.
