This comprehensive guide will help you understand the unique benefits of each offering and how they can contribute to a more sustainable future.

Bioblends from NuplastiQ

NuplastiQ is a revolutionary biopolymer made from renewable agricultural resources such as potatoes, corn, and cassava. It can be blended with traditional plastics to create BioBlends, which offer enhanced sustainability without compromising performance.

Key Features of BioBlends:

• Compostable Grade: BioBlends BC can be combined with PBAT, PLA, or PHA and are certified for industrial and home composting.
• Plant-Based Grade: BioBlends XP and XD can be combined with PE, PP, or ABS for applications ranging from films and bags to injection molding

Pros:

• Made from renewable resources
• Reduce dependency on fossil fuels
• Lower carbon emissions compared to conventional plastics
• Designed to combine with virgin plastics and degrade under composting environments without leaving microplastics
• Recyclability: can be both mechanically and chemically recycled
• Can often be processed under pre-existing plastic manufacturing equipment
• It can be mixed with PCR to achieve ultimate sustainability
• Great application for food contact products

Cons:

• May require specific conditions for composting
• The initial cost may be higher compared to traditional plastics
• Adjustments are needed to meet the performance characteristics of traditional plastics in all applications; hence, free technical adjustment consultations will be provided
• It can only be semi-transparent for clarity applications

MR PCR (Mechanical Recycled Post-Consumer Recycled) Products

Mechanical recycling involves sorting, cleaning, and melting plastic waste into reusable pellets. This method is energy-efficient and helps reduce plastic waste.

Key Features:

• Formosa MR PCR: Offers a range of PCR products, including rABS, rHIPS, rPC/ABS, rPP, and rPC.
• Lotte MR PCR: Known for high-quality recycled PP and PE products.
• Chimei MR PCR: Features high-gloss, high-rigidity rABS suitable for electronics and household products.
• Basell MR PCR: Provides mechanically recycled PP products with excellent impact strength and processing performance.

Pros:

• Efficient and repeatable recycling process
• Reduce plastic waste and conserve resources
• Lowest carbon emissions among other sustainable plastics
• Suitable for a wide range of applications
• Relatively cheaper sustainable plastic solution

Cons:

• Quality may degrade over multiple recycling cycles
• Color options are limited to black or white  due to the mix of different post-consumer products
• Not recommended for food contact applications
• Limited to mixing under 85% PCR into virgin plastics

CR PCR (Chemical Recycled Post-Consumer Recycled) Products

Chemical recycling breaks down plastic waste into its molecular components, producing high-quality plastic that is comparable to virgin materials. This method is ideal for industries with strict standards such as food packaging and hygiene.

Key Features:

• Lotte CR PCR: Certified by ISCC Plus, these products match the specifications of virgin plastics, ensuring high performance and quality.

Pros:

• Produces high-quality, virgin-like plastic
• Suitable for high-standard applications
• Reduces plastic waste and supports a circular economy
• 100% sustainable recycled plastics for products
• It can be used for transparent applications
• Great application for food contact products

Cons:

• More energy-intensive, which might lead to higher carbon emissions and footprints
• Production costs might appear high at first due to the 100% recycled rate
