Increasing societal awareness to the enivironmental impact of everday commodity plastcis is driving the need for sustainable solutions within the industry. This has seen growth of the circular ecomomy as plastic manufacturers and convertors seek to extend the useful life of thermoplastics through improved recycability and product innovation. This concept extends beyond the thermoplastic industry and is changing the way many chemical manufacturers are operating. This includes the carbon black industry who are looking to produce recovered carbon black from end of life tyres or bio feedstocks.

Hubron provides masterbatch solutions using a variety of recycled thermoplastic carriers to enhance the sustainability of our customers’ end products. By selecting polymer-specific carriers, we minimise compatibility issues, while sourcing high-purity recyclate ensures lower levels of impurities.

However, the cleanliness and possible degradation of the polymer chains associated with recycled thermoplastics may mean their selection in aesthetic or highly technical applications may not be possible, please consult Hubron’s technical department for more details.

Hubron can supply thermoplastic masterbatch using bio-degradable carriers to meet the growing demand for alternative solutions to traditional petroleum based thermoplastics.
