Regulation, sustainability and market access: key factors for the future of adhesives and sealants
On 27th October 2026, the Spanish Adhesives and Adhesion Group (GEAA), chaired by TECNALIA, is organising the workshop on “Key Regulatory Issues for the Future of Adhesives and Sealants”, in conjunction with ASEFCA. It is a flagship event to analyse the regulatory, technical and market changes that will shape the future of the adhesives and sealants sector.
The event will be held at INESCOP in Elda (Alicante), with the option to attend either in person or on-line, encouraging the participation of professionals across the entire value chain.
Throughout the event, three strategic areas for the industry will be addressed:
- European regulatory framework.
- Sustainability and circularity.
- Assessment and certification.
