A sustainable choice – compounds from recyclates and biomaterials

As a family-owned company, we are committed to sustainability. Driven by this philosophy, we develop concepts that conserve resources by using recyclates. We collect materials including recyclates from our own film production as well as re-granulated materials from our customers and as far as possible use them as feedstock for new compounds.
This also helps our customers reduce the carbon footprint of their products. To give customers the facts they need to select the most sustainable solution, we also carry out life cycle assessments for our StarBlend compounds which take into account the entire life cycle of these materials.

The figure below shows how the targeted integration of recyclates and bio-based raw materials significantly reduces the carbon footprint.

      Positive Plastics initiative

      With our compounds, SÜDPACK is a member of the POSITIVE PLASTICS initiative. This organization compiles sample kits of polymers suitable for injection molding that have a reduced environmental impact and help create a functional circular economy. With this special form of sample sets, POSITIVE PLASTICS aims to demonstrate all the significant mechanical and optical properties of each material. That helps designers and product managers to gain a better picture of how the material could look in the finished product.

      In Kit 3, SÜDPACK presents its StarBlend PP 004-01 R T20 N compound containing 70% PP recyclate.
