About Smart Bonds
Smart Bonds is an initiative by FEICA to highlight the essential but often overlooked role of adhesives and sealants in Europe’s economy and sustainability transition.
Across sectors such as construction, mobility, energy and packaging, adhesives and sealants enable lighter, more durable and more resource-efficient products. They are a key enabler of circular solutions, supporting repair, reuse and high-quality recycling, and contribute to the competitiveness of Europe’s downstream industries.
Through Smart Bonds, FEICA aims to build understanding of how the adhesives and sealants industry contributes to the EU’s strategic priorities, including circularity, innovation, and industrial resilience. The initiative brings together data, examples and insights to inform policymakers and stakeholders about the sector’s role across critical value chains.
