We offer you a special material from the field of secondary plastics:
A polypropylene regenerate - type "Ocean Plastic"

The material mix of the, the so-called PP regenerated "Ocean Plastic", consists 20% of waste coming from the maritime industry and 80% of post-consumer-waste. The share of waste from the maritime industry consists mainly of nets and ropes that were in use in both national and international waters and achieved the end of its lifecycle.

By extracting and processing this kind of waste, we avoid further pollution of the seas and oceans as well as the loss of a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and valuable source of material.
By using one metric ton of the pure "Ocean Plastic" material, up to 1,675 kg of CO2 emissions is saved, compared to using a metric ton of virgin material with comparable properties.¹

¹ This value was determined in 2016 in a life cycle analysis in accordance with the international standards and framework conditions for life cycle assessments according to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, and will be verified at regular intervals and adjusted if necessary.

Why the mix of the so-called "Ocean Plastic" with post-consumer waste?

The PP material used for the maritime industry was selected in terms of its quality accordingly to the intended use and the requirements for the final products (nets & ropes) for manufacture.
The waste coming from the maritime industry has similar quality features, but is only applicable to a limited extent for use in the broad spectrum of the plastics industry due to technically limited properties in terms of the flow behaviour (MFI) and impact resistance of the plastic. In addition, the coloring of the pure "Ocean Plastic" material leads to further restrictions of the possible areas of application.
Our target was to increase the technical properties of the material as well as to achieve a certain flexibility in the colour design possibilities in order to enable a maximum range of applications in the plastics processing industry. Numerous tests and trials have shown the optimal mixing ratio of the "Ocean Plastics" with the PP post-consumer regrind, whereby we achieve a higher average quality of the finally PP regenerate and at the same time break the basic color, which allows certain scope for the colour design.

By adding plastic additives as well as masterbatch products specially developed for this material mixture, we achieve a PP regenerate with a stable high quality, a flow behavior (MFI) of up to 30, a notched impact strength > 4 and four different basic colours:
