Conagen to introduce sustainable debondable textile adhesive

Conagen, a Massachusetts-based innovator in biotechnology, is working on a debondable textile adhesive. The company is using sustainably obtained high-performance materials and natural biomolecules. This development is being made because the traditional adhesives establish a permanent bond with the fabric, which tampers with the recyclability by making the separation of fabric components difficult.

The debondable adhesive developed by Conagen forms a debondable fabric component, which helps in easy recycling while also offering a cost-effective solution to lessen the production waste.

By providing reworkability during garment production, Conagen’s adhesive aims to defy conventional production waste and the additional costs associated with it. The reworkability part of Conagen’s adhesive permits the effective correction of deformities and limits the wastage of important materials ending up in landfills.

The adhesive’s goal is to make it possible to debond and rework materials, bringing flexibility and efficiency to both manufacturers and the environment.

The debonding adhesive will facilitate material separation, maintain material quality, broaden recycling options, and advance circular economy objectives.
