Within the current climate, environmental compliance and circularity are cornerstones of our built environment. From the usage and handling of raw materials and supply chain transparency, to waste management and occupational health, genuine sustainability permeates every process and policy to some degree.
Sustainability is not something KLEIBERIT has adopted into its philosophy; it has been part of its ethos from the very start. The company’s extensive range of high-performance adhesives and associated technologies has all been developed with a deep commitment to the circular economy, occupational health, and the enhancement of indoor environmental quality.
Maintaining a UK base
As opposed to outsourcing its logistics, KLEIBERIT maintains its own UK-based warehouse in Colborne, Leicestershire. Along with fast lead times (around 3-4 days for stocked items), this strategic investment allows KLEIBERIT to have tighter control over transport, storage conditions, and handling — all contributors to reducing waste, spoilage, and unnecessary carbon emissions.
Coupled with this is a UK-based technical sales force that offers on-site training and expert consultation. The aim is to work with customers to optimise production efficiency, wherever possible, without the need for costly equipment modifications.
Championing occupational health
A central thread in KLEIBERIT’s sustainability strategy is improving occupational health and indoor environmental quality. The company’s Micro Emission PUR Hotmelt Adhesive line is a key example of this.
Clean, efficient and environmentally responsible – KLEIBERIT 707.9 ME in the 300 g cartridge offers processors all the benefits of a modern PUR adhesive. This micro-emission hotmelt ensures healthier working conditions, minimises waste and enables precise, clean handling – while delivering the full performance expected from PUR technology.
The micro-emission technology makes KLEIBERIT 707.9 ME an ideal entry point into the world of reactive hotmelt adhesives. No hazardous substance labelling is required, which makes its use particularly straightforward. At the same time, the extraction and filter requirements are comparable to those of EVA or PO hotmelts, allowing manufacturers to switch to PUR technology without additional investment in complex safety systems.
Cartridge technology enables highly efficient use of materials and energy. Partially used cartridges can be sealed, stored cool and then reused the next day without waste.
As a family-owned company, KLEIBERIT attaches great importance to sustainability. Its goal is to combine maximum adhesive performance with responsibility for the environment and human health.
As demand continues to grow for cleaner, safer, and more resource-efficient materials, KLEIBERIT is exceptionally well-positioned to support manufacturers with practical, sustainable solutions.
