Glue is a small part of the package, but every bit counts. The types of glue used in manufacturing and how they impact the environment is becoming a more significant consideration. Using plastic-free adhesives helps reduce waste by creating more sustainable, recyclable packaging and products. LD Davis provides manufacturers with eco-friendly glues including liquid glue, gelatin glue, and glue for paper straws.
Is Eco-Friendly Glue Right for Your Application?
While many companies strive to be more green with their production and products, eco-friendly glue might not be the right adhesive for all applications. To get the best adhesion with eco-friendly gelatin or dextrin glue, you need a porous surface. Usually, paper products for packaging work best with eco-friendly glue. For example, paper, cardboard, and chipboard tend to adhere well.
