The Unique Properties of Adhesives and Sealants in Electronics and Disassembly Functions
The adhesives industry will continue to develop products for the electronics industry that optimize durability and end-of-life solutions through options such as recycling and repair potential.
Considering Europe’s future-focused drive towards an increasingly circular economy, FEICA actively supports efforts to improve product efficiency and circularity to help create a more sustainable society. The use of adhesives and sealants in many sectors, including electronics, contributes to improved durability, recycling, CO2 reduction, repairability, upgradability, and material efficiency of final products.
To FEICA and its members, it is important to raise awareness of the adhesive and sealant industry's contribution to the circular economy, internally and externally, in terms of both activities to improve the sustainability of its own industry and help for customers and end-of-supply-chain industries (recyclers) to operate more sustainably. They therefore support the need for Ecodesign, for example, in order to encourage end-of-life reuse and recycling solutions for electronic products and components.
