Our Sustainability Adhesives Journey

Wilsonart Adhesives manufactures products from virgin raw goods including rubber, resins, emulsions, alcohols and solvents, in order to maintain the highest level of performance and quality. All Wilsonart Adhesives’ are free of urea-formaldehyde and Methylene Chloride, which can be found in many competing adhesives.

Many of our products are packaged in returnable/recyclable containers that eliminate dump from our landfills. These include the following:

	330-gallon steel totes are returned after use to Wilsonart Adhesives where they are cleaned for reuse.		275-gallon caged totes are part of a national recycling reuse program that ensures that the units are collected, cleaned and reused.
	55-gallon steel drums used for our packaging are recycled/reconditioned drums which can be recycled by our customers.		The 140 lb and 300 lb spray adhesive canisters are returned after use to Wilsonart Adhesives where they are cleaned for reuse.
