Sustainable Material Answers™
Circular Economy
As climate change continues to be one of the defining issues of our time,
a commitment to sustainable solutions is essential—now more than
ever.
But it’s more than just transitioning to
renewable energies: it’s designing out waste and pollution before production and
manufacturing even begin.
To enable this transformation, more consumer education is needed.

This is particularly interesting for larger
scale production, where the impact of material
use reduction will be more important.
Examples of custom formulations that
help achieve a more sustainable product profile are
a nucleating agent combined with color in a
ready-to-use formulation or a desired color offered
in a bio-polymer based ready-to-use product.
