KRAIBURG TPE uses recycled raw materials to develop customer- and application-specific compounds with the aim of meeting the growing demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable thermoplastic elastomers and to play a pioneering role in the innovative research and development involved
.
Climate change, limited petroleum resources and increasingly environmentally conscious customers are driving more and more manufacturers and users of materials to turn to "bio-regenerative" and "bio-based" solutions
.
However, "bio" is a broad term that is quite different from the word "sustainable" in the strategic sense of conserving resources and protecting the environment
.
Fran\z Hinterecker, CEO of KRAIBURG TPE® emphasizes: “The challenge involved considering the environmental balance of the material throughout its life cycle, including its impact on ecosystems and human health
.
Therefore, KRAIBURG TPE opted for a customer-specific solution
.
In the company's "Code of Conduct", KRAIBURG TPE is committed to sustainable business operations to protect soil, water, air and biodiversity
.
Based on these self-defined constraints, KRAIBURG TPE's modular systems can be developed with different proportions of recycled raw materials around specific customer needs
.
With conventional methods, it is technically possible to produce bio-based materials with a high proportion of recycled raw materials
.
From the pilot projects based on traditional methods, a trend towards bio-based materials (20%+ certified ratio) is emerging
.
The potential use of this material extends to all TPE applications in the consumer, industrial and automotive markets
.
Examples include toothbrushes, hypoallergenic elastic straps, and crash pads
.
Mr.
Hinterecker added: “Our approach has been well received by our customers, especially those looking for sustainable solutions without sacrificing cost-effectiveness and performance
.
Our core competencies – fully customer-centric, global reach and trend-setting innovations—meaning companies are well-positioned to address these challenges
.
