Technoform - Tailored engineering plastics solutions’ Post

🔥 New Polymer Expert Interview online 🎤 In this expert interview, I talk with Sustainability Manager Fabio Späth and Process Engineer Emanuel Leisinger from Technoform - Tailored Solutions about their newly launched calculator: 🧮 the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculator for plastic profiles 📌 Background Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the plastics industry – driven by regulatory requirements (e.g., CSRD), rising raw material costs, and customer demand for transparency. Technoform pursues a long-term approach by embedding ecological and social responsibility into its core business. 🧮 The PCF Calculator Emanuel explains how Technoform created a dedicated PCF calculator to quantify product-specific greenhouse gas emissions. The tool uses supplier-specific data and actual energy consumption, and is aligned with ISO 14067 and the GHG Protocol. 💡Benefits for customers With this calculator, customers can evaluate the carbon impact of different material and design choices in their plastic profile projects. This supports informed decision-making and helps companies pursue their own climate and sustainability goals. Key topics in this interview ✅ The role of sustainability at Technoform ✅ Why Technoform built its own Product Carbon Footprint calculator ✅ How you can benefit from more transparency about the carbon footprint Thanks to Magdalena Aitken and Technoform team for organizing such great exchange! Enjoy and thanks for watching! Greetings,  Herwig Juster #PlasticProfiles #Sustainability #SustainablePlastics #ProductCarbonFootprint #CircularEconomy #CO2Reduction #Technoform #GHGProtocol

PPC-P is the world’s first industrially scalable CO₂-based high-performance plastic, combining climate impact with breakthrough material functions. Unlike existing bioplastics, it delivers nine unique advantages: direct CO₂ utilization, user-controlled degradability, superior barrier properties, strong heat-sealing, high bio-based content, transparency, UV resistance, foaming ability, and cost competitiveness close to fossil plastics. This rare integration of sustainability, versatility, and economic viability positions PPC-P as a transformative solution capable of replacing both conventional bioplastics and fossil-based high-barrier materials. Its adoption would not only set a new benchmark for innovation in the bioplastics sector but also demonstrate how carbon utilization can reshape the global plastics industry.

🌍 Do you know the true environmental impact of your products and packaging? Understanding this is no longer optional—it's essential. That’s why forward-thinking manufacturers like POLYPLAS EXTRUSIONS LIMITED are taking proactive steps by partnering with our Consulting team to conduct Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs). Polyplas wanted to respond to increasing customer demand for environmental transparency. With our support, they now have detailed insights into the environmental impacts of their extrusions across 13 different polymer types, from raw materials and transport to manufacturing and packaging. 🔍 The results? ✔️ Over 30 impact indicators assessed ✔️ Carbon hotspots identified ✔️ A solid baseline for future improvements ✔️ Credible data to strengthen their commercial offering 💡 Our LCA and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) services provide actionable, data-driven insights that help businesses reduce impact, support sustainable decision-making, and meet growing stakeholder expectations. 📖 Read the full Polyplas case study to see how LCAs and EPDs can drive real value: 🔗 https://okt.to/anWS5p #LCA #Sustainability #EnvironmentalImpact #EcoDesign #EPD #CircularEconomy #SustainableManufacturing #PackagingImpact #ValpakConsultancy #Polyplas #CarbonFootprint #ESG #TransparencyInBusiness

Spirality > Circularity. Let’s rethink the plastics problem. ♻️ Closed- or open-loop recycling is a false dichotomy. Plastics don’t loop perfectly; they spiral. In our new JACS perspective, Matthew Realff, Christos E. Athanasiou, and I introduce “spirality” as a more realistic framework for plastics recycling than circularity. Instead of chasing the myth of infinite loops, spirality recognizes inevitable quality loss and the need for tiered recycling strategies. By properly integrating mechanical property benchmarking, LCA, and TEA from the start — and fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration — we can design truly sustainable pathways for polymer innovation and end-of-life management.
