An eco-friendly hot glue gun with ergonomic design and precise application

Project

The redesigned hot glue gun GlueTAIL is developed with a strong focus on environmental sustainability and improved ergonomics.
Instead of synthetic adhesives, it uses biodegradable wax, reducing plastic waste and minimizing environmental impact.
Its compact design allows for precise application, while the ergonomic handle ensures comfortable use.
An integrated base collects excess glue, helping to reduce unnecessary waste.
Designed for both left- and right-handed users, it is ideal for short-term projects such as packaging, floral arrangements, and model making.
