Green Tube cardboard cartridge – less plastic, less CO₂

The Green Tube cardboard cartridge replaces conventional plastic adhesive cartridges, which are usually incinerated. Our main focus during development: avoiding plastic waste by significantly lowering the plastic content by 80 %. The cartridge body is made of 100 % cardboard and can be recycled after use.

The issue of sustainability is gaining increasing importance in the industrial sector. One major problem is pollution caused by plastic waste. According to a global analysis, around 400 million tonnes of plastic were produced worldwide in 2022. The harmful effects of plastic are widely known – both for the environment and for human health.

Cardboard instead of plastic

During the production of the Green Tube cartridge, 80 % less plastic is used compared to conventional cartridges. The cartridge body is made entirely of cardboard. Its production generates 53 % less CO₂ emissions than the manufacturing of a standard PE cartridge – a clear benefit for both the climate and the environment.

Longer shelf life

Adhesives and sealants packaged in tube-shaped bags maintain their quality for longer because the protective film effectively shields them from light, oxygen and moisture. This extends the shelf life from 12 to 18 months. Between work steps, the tube-shaped bag can be easily sealed with a cable tie, ensuring the adhesive or sealant remains fresh until its next use.

Less waste

When in use, the foil bag is pressed flat and remains as a thin disc. Compared to conventional cartridges, this noticeably cuts down on waste volume – and in turn, packaging waste. The lid and tip with leftover material can be disposed of in general waste or, after removing the cured product residues, recycled through the plastic recycling system.

Reusability

The cartridge body can be reused. Since the inner, tube-shaped bag prevents contamination of the cardboard cartridge, the body remains clean and reusable. Only the bag and the tip – made from 100 % recycled plastic – need to be replaced. This allows for even greater waste reduction.

Easy to use

The Green Tube fits any standard cartridge gun and requires neither special knowledge nor special tools such as a cartridge cutter. Simply cut just below the clip, insert, attach the cap and dosing tip – and you’re ready to start bonding.

Cost savings

Refill bags reduce both material and packaging costs compared to disposable cartridges. Because it’s reusable, the product is used up completely – with no leftover waste. The longer shelf life offers a clear advantage, especially in retail: less stock needs to be replaced.
