Stories about how we can help our customers become more sustainable

How we work, how our products are made, how we select suppliers and raw materials, how we think and act – all of this needs to become more sustainable. To see what we’re actually working on, take a look at our stories.

How RS Group and tesa engineered more sustainable sealing at scale

Every day, 20,000 packages leave the RS Group’s distribution center in Bad Hersfeld, Germany. Each one is sealed with tape that weighs almost nothing. But when you multiply that by thousands, the impact can no longer be ignored.

“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

Today, we are committed to creating smarter, more sustainable, and easily repairable products. But traditional permanent bonding often creates barriers to innovation and circular economic principles. Whether in smartphones, laptops, or electric vehicles, permanent bonds can make repairs, recycling, and upgrades unnecessarily complex.
