Alternative to Single Use Plastic

It is estimated our industry disposes of 2 million plastic sealant cartridges each week in the UK.

This contributes to a significant amount of single use plastic, in an industry which consumes nearly a quarter of all plastic.

Alternative ‘foil sausages’ or ‘chubs’ are readily available for all sealant applications and can reduce waste by up to 95%.

The benefits include

Chubs contain more sealant per tube .
Waste volume is decreased significantly as only a foil casing disc remains after use.
Most if not all the product can be discharged leaving no product residue left in the chub unlike plastic sealant cartridges (which often leaves hazardous packaging for disposal).
