We do: Rethink materials

We are committed to using recycled and bio-based materials

tesa is working to develop new products that make a sustainable contribution to the top product lines in the automotive, electronics, and construction industries, as well as for our consumers in the office and home goods sectors. In doing so, we are committed to reducing the use of non-recycled fossil-based plastics and aim to increasingly use recycled (PIR/PCR) and bio-based materials (e.g., paper, natural rubber).
