The increasing need for more sustainability is also reflected in the acceptance of more eco-friendly solutions in two-component discharge systems. These developments can make a relevant contribution to higher environmental compatibility of corresponding adhesives and sealants. Ecological and social challenges, as well as the use of environmentally friendly materials and improvements to energy efficiency, are key factors that must be considered when developing new solutions. By using recycled or bio-based materials and power-saving production processes, companies can play their part in protecting the environment by reducing their carbon footprint. However, that alone is often not enough. To make products even more sustainable, the consistent use of eco-design principles is crucial. For example, reducing material or using a less carbon-intensive plastic can help to further minimize the product’s overall ecological footprint.
