New product line of biobased and biomass-balanced compounds

23/10/2024

CATEGORY: Circular Economy BRAND: BIO-FED

The Cologne-based company BIO-FED, a branch of AKRO-PLASTIC, has launched a new product line under the brand name M·BIOBASE. The plastic compounds in this product line are made partly or completely from biobased and/or biomass-balanced materials.


Thanks to the use of renewable raw materials, M·BIOBASE compounds have an improved CO2 footprint (product carbon footprint) compared to conventional fossil-based plastics.

 

Three M-BIOBASE compounds with different proportions of wood fibres (BIO-FED)

 

One example of this is the used biomass-balanced polypropylene (PP), which is obtained from waste e.g. residues from vegetable oil refining or used cooking oil (UCO). The compounds produced with this material are ISCC PLUS certified, which guarantees the traceability of the sustainable material flow along the entire value chain.

 

Another example of the use of renewable raw materials in M·BIOBASE compounds is the use of organic fillers such as wood or lignin from waste streams from the timber industry.

 

M·BIOBASE materials are suitable for injection moulding and extrusion and can be used for a variety of applications. The product portfolio is also being continuously expanded.

 

In addition to the M·BIOBASE portfolio, BIO-FED supplies the matching masterbatches AF-CirColor (colour masterbatches), AF-CirCarbon (carbon black concentrates) and AF-CirComplex (additive masterbatches), which are based on biomass-balanced carrier material and therefore also contribute to reducing the CO2 footprint.

 

BIO-FED produces and markets sustainable plastic compounds under the brands M•VERA for biodegradable compounds, M·BIOBASE for biobased and biomass-balanced compounds and M·CYCLOSE for compounds with recycled content. As a branch of AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH, which specialises in innovative and customer-oriented plastic compounds, BIO-FED is part of the internationally active Feddersen Group, which has its headquarters in Hamburg. The development and production of thermoplastic polymers and technical masterbatches by AKRO-PLASTIC and its branch AF-COLOR takes place in Niederzissen, Rhineland-Palatinate.
