Creating more
sustainable
solutions together

We’re all looking for ways to make more sustainable choices. Every sector, manufacturer, and supplier has a responsibility to make changes for the better. At tesa we’re developing advanced adhesive technologies to help the appliances industry create future-proof designs. It's a journey, but every step brings progress; and one sustainable innovation leads to another.

While sustainability is a guiding principle in everything we do at tesa, below is a showcase of some of the adhesive solutions that can specifically help manufacturers create future-proof appliances.

Our range of more sustainable adhesive solutions continues to grow. We're always looking at ways to develop our offering. If you require a customized product, please contact us, and we'll work together to find a way forward.

02Design for repairability & recovery

tesa® Bond & Detach is an innovative tape mounting solution that enables secure bonds but also removability of components for repair, re-positioning during assembly, and recovering valuable parts at the end of an appliance’s life cycle. With these features, it has proven to promote more sustainable applications in other markets we are supplying.

03Design for less waste

Our 'tesa® 64280 thin & strong' strapping tape combines extreme holding strength with excellent removability and a significant saving in material (tape width and thickness). The result? Less damaged good in transit and less waste.

04Design to support energy saving

Our optically clear adhesives for invisible bonding solutions are an example of supporting energy-saving innovations such as glass windows in fridges and ovens, which reduce the frequency and amount of time the doors are opened - helping the appliance operate more efficiently. 

Your goal. Our goal.

The demand for more sustainable solutions is a welcome one, yet it does come with its own pressures. In order to meet requirements, manufacturers are increasingly asking ever more from their designers and engineers.
At tesa we believe sustainability is so important that ‘it’s everyone’s job, even if it isn’t’. So we are committed to doing everything we can to support a manufacturer’s internal teams develop more sustainable but affordable solutions across every stage of their production processes. 

We have set ourselves numerous sustainability targets in the coming years, to ensure we are playing our part just as much as our customers are. Here are some examples:

  • By 2030, 70% of the materials for our products and packaging will be recycled or bio based. 
  • By 2030, we will cut the use of virgin fossil plastics by half.   
  • By 2030, we will provide more products with sustainable end of life solutions.
