Discover the key raw materials to formulate adhesives and sealants in 2025-26 for the megatrend Green & Circular
Green & Circular covers formulation trends aimed at reducing the overall environmental impact— reducing environmental emissions, lowering product carbon footprints, utilising renewable raw materials, and embracing circularity throughout the product life cycle.
Focus: Mass-balanced hydrocarbon resins
They are made with a blend of renewable or recycled materials and fossil-based feedstock, enabling more sustainable production without compromising product quality. These resins enhance adhesion in hot-melt and pressure-sensitive adhesives, providing strong bonding while minimising fossil-based content.
