LOCTITE 55 is used in industry to seal pipe connections. In the spirit of the circular economy, the packaging is made from a single material entirely: 70 per cent recycled polypropylene, which is robust enough to withstand the harsh conditions on construction sites. Its flip-lid is firmly attached so that it cannot get lost; this also prevents the cord from becoming contaminated and having to be replaced. The integrated cutter is easy to remove for mono-material recycling of the can.
Statement by the Jury
Robust design and well-thought-out production from a mono-material both contribute to the sustainability of LOCTITE 55.
