Keeping in mind that color is a key element of a pleasing appearance, the recyclate’s intrinsic color-matching properties are more limited compared to virgin polymers. We leverage our polymer expertise and decades of experience to offer value adding, innovative and circular material solutions for key industries such as consumer products, energy, healthcare, infrastructure and mobility.

Likewise, Mevopur functional additives can help to protect or enhance the performance of polymers used in medical devices, diagnostics, or pharmaceutical packaging. The Mevopur product line also includes color and additive concentrates based on polymers with 70%-100% bio-content and pre-tested raw materials which can help to reduce carbon footprint and offer alternatives to fossil-based grades.
