Wood Plastic Composites for injection molding and extrusion If you like the convenience and freedom for the design and processing of plastics, but are looking for a natural wood appearance, then Fibrolon® is the ideal solution. It looks like wood, but can be processed like plastic on existing equipment. Fibrolon® is a fantastic combination of plastic and wood, which are two very commonly used materials. The high quality of the surface and the de ned wood structure gives components made from Fibrolon® a unique charm and character. It looks like wood and feels like wood, but unlike wood itself, Fibrolon® can also be processed into complex structures and design elements. Conventional plastics, such as polypropylene (PP) as well as bio-based and biodegradable plastics can be used as the polymer base. The proportion of renewable raw materials used can be adapted to customer requi- rements. In addition, biodegradable types (according to EN 13432) are available. Advantages of Fibrolon® at a glance: High percentage of renewable raw materials Biodegradable types available High strength and stiffness Can be processed on existing equipment Attractive wood surface Sustainability made visible Food Approved to EC Directives and FDA (depending on grade) Suitable for toys (EN 71-3)

Generally PET consists of 70% terephthalic acid and 30% of monoethylene glycol (MEG). It is now possible to produce bio-based MEG from renewable raw materials instead of using fossil resources. The basis for this bio-based MEG is ethanol manufactured from sugar cane rather than using ethanol produced from oil. Eastlon is a 'drop-in' solution and is therefore able to replace conventional PET in a wide variety of applications. Typical applications are bottles, films, automotive and other injection molding applications. Eastlon has the following advantages: Can be recycled at up to 100% in the existing PET recycling streams Properties & processing are the same as fossil PET 'Drop-in' solution Not biodegradable and therefore durable

Bio-Flex® is a bioplastics family of products suitable for flexible applications which can be converted using a wide variety of processing methods. All Bio-Flex® products are completely biodegradable and are based entirely or partially on natural raw materials. The main applications for Bio-Flex® include a wide selection of flexible film applications, such as agricultural, household and hygiene films. Furthermore, it is possible to produce thermoformed articles and injection molded products using Bio-Flex®. Bio-Flex® offers an alternative disposal route by means of the certified biodegradability / compostability. If required and where facilities exist it is possible to dispose of food together with its packaging.

Biobased polyethylene compounds for extrusion and injection molding Terralene® is a tailor-made family of polyethylene compounds based on renewable raw materials. All Terralene® grades are based on sugar cane as a raw material thus making a valuable contribution to the conservation of fossil resources. Due to the durability of Terralene®, it is possible to produce items which are designed for a long service life. The material can be processed on existing production equipment without any adjustments. After use, Terralene® products can be placed back into existing polyethylene recycling streams without any detriment to the recyclate. Advantages of Terralene® at a glance: Diversified portfolio of extrusion, blow molding and injection grades High percentage of renewable raw materials Can be processed on existing equipment Good barrier properties Fully recyclable Conservation of fossil resources
