The world\u2019s leading biopolymer manufacturer Braskem S.A. and bioplastics specialist FKuR Kunststoff GmbH are expanding their distribution agreement to include further products from the I\u2019m green\u2122 bio-based portfolio. This development deepens the partnership between the two companies, which has existed since 2011. Effective immediately, FKuR will now also be the official distributor for I\u2019m green\u2122 bio-based (EVA) ethylene vinyl acetate in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, UK, Turkey, Israel and India.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braskem\u2019s I\u2019m green\u2122 bio-based EVA is a family of bio-based EVA plastics that combine flexibility, lightness, and resistance. Main applications for this plastic made from renewable raw materials include footwear, toys, sporting goods, tatami mats and foams in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its team, FKuR will not only act as a logistics partner for the countries covered but will also be a competent contact for the technology and development as well as providing application and marketing support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWith our 360\u00b0 service, we offer our customers everything from a single source, from the initial discussion to the marketing of the final plastic product,\u201d emphasizes Patrick Zimmermann, member of the executive board at FKuR<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very pleased to expand the successful cooperation with FKuR to now also include I\u2019m green\u2122 bio-based EVA and benefit from their great knowledge and network and support clients in Europe to reach their sustainability goals.\u201d, emphasizes Marco Jansen, Braskem<\/strong> I\u2019m green\u2122 bio-based EMEA Biopolymers and Europe Advocacy & Sustainability Director.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

Just as with I\u2019m green\u2122 bio-based polyethylene, Braskem also uses sustainably sourced sugarcane-based ethanol to produce I\u2019m green\u2122 bio-based EVA. During its growth sugarcane binds CO2<\/sub> from the atmosphere. By using this renewable raw material, greenhouse gas emissions can be successfully reduced. Depending on the grade, the biobased content is between 45% and 80%, based on the ASTM D6866 standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a drop-in plastic, I\u2019m green\u2122 bio-based EVA has the same processing properties as its fossil counterpart. It can therefore be processed by customers on existing equipment. Its recyclability also corresponds to that of fossil EVA, so that both products can be recycled and reused in established cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No problem: contact us<\/a> or browse through our FAQ & knowledge area<\/a>, where you will find lots of insights and background information on bioplastics<\/a>, recyclates<\/a> and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
