Sustainable Materials

Sustainable Materials

Sustainable materials are those that have minimal environmental impact throughout their production, use, and disposal processes. These materials typically have the following characteristics:

  1. Renewability : These materials come from renewable resources, such as plants, recycled materials, or regenerated materials, and their production processes support the ongoing replenishment of resources.

  2. Low Environmental Impact : The production and use of these materials produce fewer greenhouse gases, pollutants, and waste, reducing their negative effects on the natural environment.

  3. Energy Efficiency : The production and processing of these materials are energy-efficient, reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

  4. Lifecycle Management : The entire lifecycle of the material is considered, including production, use, maintenance, and disposal, with efforts made to minimize resource consumption and waste generation. 

  5. Social Responsibility : The production process adheres to social and ethical standards, safeguarding worker rights and supporting a socially responsible and sustainable economic system. 

Using sustainable materials helps reduce pressure on Earth's resources, decrease environmental pollution, and drive society toward sustainable development.

NuPlastiQ®

The term usually refers to biodegradable or compostable alternatives. These alternatives are intended to reduce the environmental impact of traditional plastic bags, such as their harm to marine life and the negative effects of plastic waste on the Earth's ecosystem.

NuPlastiQ® made with 100% plant-based biopolymers, are a unique thermoplastic resin that decomposes relatively quickly in natural environments, unlike traditional plastic bags which persist in soil or water for extended periods.
Produced using proprietary processes, high-crystallinity starch powder is converted into low-crystallinity (mostly amorphous) plastic resin. NuPlastiQ is provided in pellet form. This thermoplastic material, when combined with mainstream high-performance polymers, offers many characteristics suitable for manufacturing a variety of products, including films and bags, injection-molded parts, blow-molded bottles, and thermoformed parts. NuPlastiQ's unique properties allow it to easily blend with other plastic resins, including fossil fuel-based and bio-based materials. It is directly compatible with polyolefins (PE, PP, PS) and compostable (PLA, PBAT, PHA) materials.
