In our world today, there is a growing plastic waste problem, and solving it is a major challenge. Plastic waste pollutes the marine ecosystem, and devastates ocean environments. All companies using plastic (resins) need to change the way they do business. That's where an important shift comes in - a change from the environmentally damaging business cycle of production-consumption-disposal to the sustainable cycle of production-consumption-collection-recycle. We promote material recycling that involves the re-use of plastic waste. A key shift is also occuring in bioplastics, which helps to lower our carbon footprint and reduce our dependence on fossil fuel resources. We are also promoting the idea of "reducing," in the sense of reducing the amount of plastic used in the first place.
TAFMER™ boosts the performance of plastic waste when it is added during the material recycling process. In addition, adding TAFMER™ to compounded resins that include a blend of biomass materials and inorganic filler improves product performance while enabling a reduction of plastic use. For flexible packaging applications, TAFMER™ also improves the heat-sealing performance of films, expanding possibilities of easy-to-recycle mono-material packages.
TAFMER™ expands the potentials of plastics while helping to create a sustainable society.
