H.B. Fuller and Covestro Join Forces to Make Adhesives More Sustainable
H.B. Fuller is using a bio-attributed raw material created via a mass balance approach that will replace a proportion of fossil-based raw materials.
H.B. Fuller recently announced a strategic partnership with Covestro to deliver an adhesive with a reduced climate impact for the woodworking, composites, textiles, and automotive industries. According to H.B. Fuller, the new solution represents an evolution of previous sustainable product development and will likely extend into other products and areas of production.
“We are driven by the very present need to reduce CO2 emissions and look after the world around us, and so too are our customers,” said Iñaki Sigler, H.B. Fuller’s global product manager for woodworking and composites. “This inspires us to continually explore new avenues to reduce our products’ environmental footprint and encourage our supply chain to do the same. Together with our partner, Covestro, we see this new, strategic product development as an investment in all our futures and a commitment to a more sustainable world.”
