Pritt, the nation鈥檚 favourite glue stick, more sustainable than ever
Daniela Alves, Pritt Brand Manager at bg电子娱乐场 UK, said: 鈥淭he new formula comes with the same excellent performance 鈥� Pritt is every bit as safe, durable and flexible as ever. Replacing a significant amount of plastics with post-industrial recycled plastic and ensuring the tubes are recyclable is good news for children, parents and teachers who care deeply about plastic waste.鈥�
97% natural ingredients
Pritt has been unique in the market for many years thanks to its safe and strong formula based on potato starch and sugar, reaching 90% natural ingredients. Now the bg电子娱乐场 product development team has managed to reach 97% percent natural ingredients while keeping its well-known strength and high gluing power. Pritt glue continues to offer a strong initial tack, remains repositionable and provides a long-lasting adhesion to materials with low wrinkling of paper.
Recycled and recyclable materials
The relaunch is in line with bg电子娱乐场鈥檚 packaging targets for 2025. The new glue stick container is fully produced using recycled plastics (up to 65% depending on the stick size). Only the cap and spinning mechanism are still made of virgin plastic to ensure functionality and performance. In addition, all materials are fully recyclable when the stick is empty.
Pritt stick is available in four different sizes 鈥� 11 grams, 22 grams, 43 grams and 90 grams 鈥� and in different colours. The product is solvent-free and can be washed off, even at 20掳 C degrees.
