The presentation of the Bioplastics Innovation Award to Husky will take place on the Sustainability Stage at NPE2024. Sustainability and the circular economy are central themes of America’s most important plastics trade fair, which will take place in Orlando from May 6th to 10th, 2024 \u00a9<\/strong> K-ZEITUNG<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Husky won the award for their hot runner system, UltraMelt, which was engineered for the efficient and sustainable injection molding of bioresins. Bioresins, made in whole or in part from renewable biological resources, present unique challenges in injection molding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Husky, UltraMelt specifically addresses these challenges with non-reactive surfaces and stainless-steel components to preserve the sensitive chemistry of bioresin materials and minimize degradation. After rigorous testing and optimization, UltraMelt was introduced to the marketplace in 2022, becoming a pioneering solution for bioresin melt delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patrick Krieger, PLASTICS\u2019 Vice President of Sustainability congratulated Husky saying, \u201cThis is the first time PLASTICS has awarded an equipment company and their original technology for using more bioplastics, and I congratulate Husky on this achievement. Equipment design is complex and takes significant investment. The time and resources Husky spent on this technology speaks to the importance and potential of bioplastics in the plastics industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn behalf of the Husky team I would like to thank you, the Plastics Industry Association, for this prestigious honor. Bioplastics, together with advancements in circular polymer processing, are key parts of Husky\u2019s sustainability strategy. We are convinced that by working together as an industry we will turn challenges into opportunities. We will demonstrate that the circular economy is not just a buzzword but a reality,\u201d said John Galt, CEO of Husky. \u201cPolymers preserve and protect more effectively than any other substrate. They can be formed into an infinite number of shapes and sizes. They are lightweight and unbreakable. They have the lowest overall environment footprint. They keep consumer costs down. Investing and working together to building truly circular solutions is good for our industry, for our children and the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A formal presentation of the Bioplastics Innovation Award will be made on the Sustainability Stage at\u00a0NPE2024: The Plastics Show<\/a>, which will take place from May 6-10, 2024, in Orlando, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
