“Shift Towards Eco-Friendly Adhesives”
Growing environmental awareness and stricter regulations on volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions are pushing manufacturers to innovate and develop sustainable adhesive solutions. Traditional solvent-based adhesives, which contribute to air pollution and pose health risks, are being increasingly replaced by low-VOC and water-based alternatives. These adhesives offer comparable bonding strength while significantly reducing environmental impact. In addition, bio-based adhesives derived from renewable resources such as soy, starch, and lignin are gaining traction, aligning with global sustainability goals. The shift towards greener solutions is particularly evident in industries such as furniture, flooring, and construction, where regulatory compliance and consumer demand for eco-friendly products are driving adoption. This trend is expected to accelerate, shaping the future of the wood adhesives market.
