This not only reduces waste but also lowers greenhouse gas emissions and offers opportunities for carbon capture. Likewise, utilizing post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials as composite components can significantly reduce the carbon footprint* of those composites. Conducting a comprehensive carbon footprint analysis is essential to making informed choices

Renewable, plant-based raw materials, have been shown to offer significantly lower product carbon footprint values than typical petroleum-based feedstock. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

When compared to alternatives during standard testing, these materials can help reduce carbon footprint over the product lifecycle, producing 61% less CO₂ than PA66, 46% less than PA6, and 30% less than POM. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

This advancement will open up key opportunities for our customers and end-users as they look to further reduce their carbon footprint.”   Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass, and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

Also announced are two new Edgetek™ PKE non-halogen flame retardant (NHFR) formulations made with polyketone, which can have a lower carbon footprint compared to polyamide 6 reinforced materials, and are pre-colored in orange for high-voltage connectors in electric vehicles. With Edgetek polyketone grades, we offer attractive alternatives to polyamide that can lower carbon footprint.

The Mevopur product line also includes color and additive concentrates based on polymers with 70%-100% bio-content and pre-tested raw materials which can help to reduce carbon footprint and offer alternatives to fossil-based grades. This includes Trilliant HC8910 glass-filled polyketone (PK) formulations with a lower carbon footprint than traditional nylon (PA6 and PA66) formulations for a high-performance alternative in applications such as biopharmaceutical clamps. Available in a variety of durometers and performance characteristics, the product family includes grades formulated without animal derivatives and a bio-based Versaflex HC BIO BT218 formulation developed specifically to handle the complexities of biopharmaceutical tubing (excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low levels of leachables and extractables) with a lower carbon footprint than traditional Versaflex HC TPE or silicone alternatives.
