Biobased adhesives are a promising, sustainable alternative to conventional adhesives, helping reduce the carbon footprint of products across industries. Yet, these sustainable solutions can still create obstacles when it comes to disassembly—complicating repair, reuse, and recycling efforts. That’s why debonding on command is key to unlocking the full potential of circular design

Join us for an insightful webinar featuring a real-world industrial case study on quick composite repair. Discover how to identify the right debonding methods and gain practical insights into the key parameters that influence success. 

This webinar is organized as part of the BiDebA (Biobased Debondable Adhesives) project, funded by Interreg North-West Europe. In collaboration with Avans Hogeschool, TU Delft, GMI AERO, ACRATS, and Flanders Make, we’re advancing innovative solutions for circular composite repair—developing biobased adhesives from renewable materials that enable effortless, on-demand detachment.
