FKuR Kunststoff GmbH, a leading compounder of bioplastics and recyclates, will showcase its latest developments in sustainable plastics at the two trade fairs Fachpack and Fakuma. From September 24 to 26, 2024 first, visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the benefits and applications of FKuR\u2019s new bioplastic and recyclate compounds at Fachpack, Booth 4-111 in Hall 4. One month later, visitors to Fakuma can experience the sustainable plastic solutions from October 15 to 19, 2024, at the NRW joint state stand B4-4405 in Hall B4.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlastic solutions that reduce the CO2<\/sub> footprint, sensitive handling of diminishing resources, and sustainable packaging made from recyclable, circular materials will also be the focal themes of our customers at this year\u2019s Fachpack,\u201d asserts Niklas Vo\u00df, Deputy Sales Manager at FKuR.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCarbon neutrality\u201d and \u201creducing plastic waste\u201d are the major issues of our time. Especially in light of regulatory changes, such as the PPWR, and consumer demand for greater sustainability, packaging materials and components will need to be reimagined. FKuR offers a globally unique range of various plastics from a single source,\u201d emphasizes Niklas Vo\u00df.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Recycled Macolen\u00ae and biobased Terralene\u00ae compounds in focus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At its booth, FKuR presents a wide range of sustainable plastics for recyclable packaging. The solutions range from biobased bioplastics to recycled plastics and hybrid compounds (bio + recycled).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the brand name Macolen\u00ae<\/strong><\/a>, FKuR showcases high-quality PP recyclate compounds sourced from post-consumer and pre-consumer materials. These modified recyclates match virgin plastics in odor and technical properties. Customers can choose from various injection molding and profile extrusion grades. In addition to non-reinforced types, FKuR also offers two variants with talcum reinforcement (20% + 40%). Macolen\u00ae compounds<\/a> are suitable for diverse non-food applications.<\/p>\n\n\n

FKuR-Terralene-rPP-3505-Rezyklat-Biokunststoff-Hybrid \u00a9 FKuR<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Terralene\u00ae rPP<\/strong> <\/a>is a product family of hybrid compounds based on polypropylene (PP), combining the ecological benefits of recyclates and biobased materials with excellent recyclability. Depending on the product grade, recyclate content ranges from 30% to 60%, sourced from post-consumer waste streams, with a biobased content of up to 33%. The drop-in product range of Terralene\u00ae rPP<\/a>, known for its good flowability and natural granule color, is currently limited to non-food applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially in food packaging, there are still hurdles and regulatory uncertainties regarding the use of recyclates. For manufacturers looking to make their products more sustainable today, FKuR\u2019s biobased, highly recyclable drop-in bioplastics from the Terralene\u00ae<\/strong><\/a> family are the ideal choice. Terralene\u00ae<\/a> bio-compounds are based on polyethylene (PE) from renewable resources. All Terralene\u00ae<\/a> granules are 100% recyclable and can be processed through injection molding, blow molding, and film extrusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-quality, EuCertPlast-certified PE and PP recyclates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its own recyclate and hybrid compounds, FKuR presents a broad distribution portfolio of EuCertPlast-certified PE and PP recyclates<\/a> <\/strong>for injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion at Fachpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FKuR is steadily expanding its portfolio of traded recyclates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe are already in discussions with promising recycling companies. Our customers know and expect the highest quality and reliability from FKuR, which is why we are committed to strong, sustainable partnerships in recyclates. Particularly in the technical thermoplastics sector, we aim to strategically complement our portfolio,\u201d emphasizes Patrick Zimmermann, Managing Director of FKuR Kunststoff GmbH.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

FKuR is EcoVadis Bronze certified<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

FKuR also showcases various facets of implementing a circular economy at Fachpack. Together with customers, concepts are developed to close loops and minimize the use of fossil resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To transparently demonstrate its efforts towards sustainability in the plastics industry and ensure compliance with international best practices and standards, FKuR has obtained EcoVadis certification<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FKuR achieved a Bronze rating<\/strong> in the sustainability ranking right away<\/strong>. This places FKuR among the top 35% of companies evaluated by EcoVadis<\/strong> in the manufacture of plastics and plastic products industry globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cOur interdisciplinary sustainability team has done a fantastic job. We are proud and happy about this evaluation. This certification reaffirms our role as a driver of sustainable transformation in the plastics industry and validates our comprehensive commitment to sustainability,\u201d emphasizes Carmen Michels, Managing Director of FKuR.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
