We do: Support customers

Achieving greater sustainability together with our customers

Achieving a higher level of sustainability is an important goal for many of our customers - just as it is for us. We are taking this path together with them and supporting them with innovative adhesive solutions. In addition to our own product sustainability, we are working to ensure that our customers enjoy ecological benefits through the use of our products; for example, tesa® Bond & Detach makes smartphone components recyclable and can be removed easily without leaving any residue. The aim is to make these contributions more visible in the future.

“Debonding on Demand" technology: boosting circular economy

For years, scientists worked on creating the strongest bonds possible. Nowadays, we are working on making permanence a choice. Imagine you could take apart materials as easily as clicking a button. This vision becomes a reality with the "Debonding on Demand technology." In 2024, tesa expanded its portfolio of more sustainable innovations that help customers grab an advantage by getting ahead of competitors and regulatory changes.

Saving resources and promoting circularity

Bonding is great, but debonding is the ultimate discipline. Welcome to the future of adhesive tape - with tesa’s innovative debonding on demand technology.

House of smarts

A smartphone clatters to the ground for the fiftieth time. A tablet display bakes under a sunlamp, an adhesive hook holds its own in icy water and an electric car battery is put on a restricted feeding schedule. These are all everyday occurrences at the largest of tesa’s three Customer Solution Centers (CSCs).

Taking more sustainable design to the next level with a smart adhesive that offers debonding on demand

With the development of "Debonding on Demand" solutions, tesa is on the way to bringing a new generation of intelligent and innovative adhesive tapes to the market. These smart and innovative tapes will open up completely new dimensions in product designs with the power to cut waste, boost recycling, enable product repairs and promote a circular economy across industries.
