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 cap and clip nozzle are made from recycled plastic.

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

The production of the Green Tube cartridge uses 80 % less plastic than conventional cartridges. The cartridge casing is made from 100 % hardened cardboard. Production generates 53 % less CO₂ emissions than the manufacturing of a PE cartridge – a clear advantage for the climate and the environment.

Longer shelf life

Adhesives and sealants packaged in tube-shaped bags have a longer shelf life as the protective film effectively shields them from UV radiation and humidity. This extends the shelf life from 12 to 18 months. When not in use, the bag can easily be sealed with a cable tie, ensuring the adhesive or sealant stays fresh until its next use.

Less waste

The foil bag is pressed flat during use. 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. The Green Tube reduces waste by 393 kg per 10,000 cartridges compared to conventional plastic ones.

Reusability

The cartridge casing is reusable. Since the inner, tube-shaped bag prevents contamination of the cardboard casing, it 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. If the product is used again immediately after replacing the tube-shaped bag, there is no need to replace the tip.

Easy to use

The Green Tube can be used with any standard cartridge gun. Simply cut open just below the clip, insert, attach the cap and dosing tip – and you’re ready to start.

Cost savings

Refill bags reduce both material and packaging costs compared to disposable cartridges. The longer shelf life offers a clear advantage, especially in retail: less stock needs to be replaced.
