Low-carbon and formaldehyde-free adhesives. Traditional adhesives are phenol-formaldehyde and urea-formladehyde-based, which are derived from petroleum oil. Formaldehyde is a known cause of cancer and is difficult to recycle. Cambond produces carbon-neutral and sustainable adhesives from biomass feedstocks. It is made by bonding waste from the brewing industry and algae with a special linking agent. The process reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 80%. Cambond® Resin can be used for packaging as an alternative to conventional plastics. It is cheaper than traditional plastics and has equal or superior performance. Their biocomposite, Camposite®, is the combination of Cambond® Resin with different types of biomass (straw, oat husks, peanut shells, etc.) These biocomposites can be used as an alternative to wood.
