Reduce the Carbon Footprint of Medical Plastics
For these reasons, medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging products are typically made with standard polymers (e.g., polyolefins, polyesters) and engineering plastics (e.g., polycarbonate, ABS, POM, PBT).
They are drop-in solutions that can be used just like fossil fuel-based polymer solutions during the injection molding, blow molding or extrusion process.
