Today, the innovative materials company UBQ Materials<\/a> unveiled UBQ\u2122 Masterbatch \u2013 a new product portfolio set to transform manufacturing and supply chains.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As U.S. landfills are projected to run out of capacity by 2036<\/a>, UBQ Materials provides a solution to the looming waste crisis. The patented process transforms mixed household waste \u2013 including organics and hard-to-recycle materials \u2013 into a plastic alternative used in a wide range of everyday goods, from flowerpots to building materials and beyond.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Producing UBQ\u2122 Masterbatch can divert up to 95% of household waste that would otherwise be sent to landfills or incinerators. Amid volatile markets and trade wars, UBQ Materials offers retailers and manufacturers a price-stable, risk-resilient plastic alternative that integrates seamlessly into existing production lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re turning the world\u2019s most difficult waste into a manufacturing advantage,\u201d said Albert Douer, Chairman and CEO of UBQ Materials.<\/strong> \u201cUBQ\u2122 Masterbatch unlocks the ability to replace oil-based resins with a circular material made entirely from household waste, with no need to compromise on performance or process. This is more than sustainability – it\u2019s smart sourcing. There are no more excuses for relying on virgin materials when waste can do the job better.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

UBQ Materials has manufacturing facilities in Europe and plans to open a U.S. facility soon. UBQ\u2122 is shipped to manufacturing partners globally, such as Crescent Garden<\/a>, who have products available in the U.S., Europe, and across Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n

Advancing supply chain transformation<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With former EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy and EU Commissioner Connie Hedegaard on its Advisory Board, UBQ Materials advances the circular economy as part of supply chain transformation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UBQ Materials has worked with leading brands, including Mercedes-Benz, PepsiCo, and McDonald\u2019s, to advance their sustainability goals by incorporating UBQ\u2122 material into their products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Commission awarded UBQ Materials a \u20ac5 million grant from the Just Transition Fund to expand sustainable material solutions, like UBQ\u2122 Masterbatch, and bring innovation to market faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UBQ\u2122 Masterbatch portfolio is unique because it can be combined with a range of polymers and is ideal for injection molding or shaping through molds. UBQ\u2122 Masterbatch offers easy handling, excellent dispersion, cost competitiveness, and a negative carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
