Adhesives are necessary for a lot of industrial applications, but they tend to create a lot of waste too. That is why Henkel Canada Corporation has partnered with TerraCycle, an innovative company that offers recycling solution for typically non-recyclable material, to create the Adhesive Recycling Program. This program enables customers to recycle adhesive packaging from the Loctite brand – reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfills and incinerators. A simple recycling solution Henkel is the first manufacturer to offer this kind of recycling solution for its anaerobic adhesive packaging. The company aims to help customers meet their sustainability goals as they continue to use powerful and reliable Loctite products. Taking part in this program is easy. A customer buys a durable, postage-paid recycling box to collect used Loctite adhesive containers. When the box fills up, the customer sends it to TerraCycle, which recycles all the contents. Three different sizes are available: small, medium, and large. Henkel recommends placing the adhesive recycling bx in an area where workers apply and/or discard Loctite products. Only anaerobic Loctite packaging should be put into these boxes, with all bottles capped and tightly closed. When the box is full, seal the liner with the zip tie included under the box lid, and seal the top securely with packing tape. Then the box should be placed in the workplace’s designated UPS pickup area. TerraCycle recycles the adhesive packaging into new, innovative products once it received the box. The company sorts the collected waste by material type, treats the packaging cryogenically or thermally to deactivate the adhesive, and then melts the material into sheets that are then shredded and pelletized. These pellets eventually turn into new products.

This program is just one way that Henkel demonstrates its commitment to delivering more value with a lower environmental footprint.
