Depending on the grade, certification has already been granted or is currently in progress due to the lengthy testing and approval process. The portfolio includes grades for blown film, injection molding, and extrusion, all specifically developed to meet the requirements of agricultural and farming applications. All Bio-Flex\u00ae N types degrade in soil without leaving any residue and do not produce persistent microplastics. This makes them especially suitable for products that remain in nature after use or cannot be collected again &#8211; such as mulch films, binding twines, and plant clips for vegetables, growth tubes for trees, or drainage pipes in horticulture and agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The already OK biodegradable SOIL-certified&nbsp;<strong>Bio-Flex\u00ae N 25370<\/strong>&nbsp;is suitable for injection molding and profile extrusion products such as tree guards and growth tubes used in forestry. Despite its high density, N 25370 offers excellent flexibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Key applications of the&nbsp;<strong>Bio-Flex\u00ae blown film grades N 21310 and N 31310<\/strong>&nbsp;include mulch films as well as plant and net labels. Thanks to its well-balanced property profile, Bio-Flex\u00ae N 21310 is a suitable alternative to the industrially compostable grade&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/fkur.com\/en\/bioplastics\/bio-flex\/bio-flex-f-1140\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bio-Flex\u00ae F 1140<\/a>&nbsp;when soil biodegradability is desired. In comparison, Bio-Flex\u00ae N 31310 offers higher puncture resistance and toughness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bio-Flex\u00ae N 45261<\/strong>&nbsp;is suitable for injection molding and profile extrusion. Its increased stiffness and strength make it ideal for applications such as clips, plant stakes, and pots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visually appealing LDPE recyclate from beverage cartons<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fkur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Palren-LDPE-Alu-PolyAl-Recycling-1062x1416.jpeg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.75;width:216px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Plastic recyclate Paluren <br>\u00a9 Palurec<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>New to FKuR\u2019s distribution program is the plastic recyclate Paluren. This LDPE, available in pellet form, is produced through an innovative recycling process from used beverage cartons (PolyAl) and contains around 4% aluminum flakes. This gives products made from Paluren a unique appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recycling company Palurec employs a mechanical-physical process that uses no organic solvents, with water as the only separation medium. The production of Paluren LDPE meets the requirements of the German VerpackG certification as well as the RecyClass Recycling Process Certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paluren can be processed similarly to conventional PE and allows the use of hot runner injection molding technology as well as common polyolefin-based color and additive masterbatches. It can also be welded and bonded. The aluminum flake content is intentionally utilized to create attractive aesthetic properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fkur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FKuR_Patrick_Zimmermann-1.jpg\" alt=\"Patrick Zimmermann\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.1655011655011656;width:231px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Patrick Zimmermann \u00a9 FKuR<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Patrick Zimmermann, Managing Director of FKuR<\/strong>, states: \u201cWith the forward-looking motto of our presence at K 2025, we emphasize our ongoing commitment to circularity in the plastics industry.
