Natural fibre material with sunflower seed hulls based on recycled material

Our latest innovation, a natural fibre material made from recycled sunflower seed hulls, sets new standards in sustainable material development. This material combines the natural properties of sunflower seed hulls with recycled plastic, making it particularly environmentally friendly. By using waste products from the food industry, we not only reduce the amount of plastic used, but also contribute to a circular economy.

The natural fibre material has excellent mechanical properties such as high strength and stiffness, yet is lightweight. This combination makes it ideal for applications in the automotive, construction and packaging industries. In addition, the material is easy to form and is ideal for injection moulding and extrusion processes, making it highly versatile.

Another advantage of this material is its excellent environmental performance: by combining bio-based and recycled raw materials, the material significantly reduces the carbon footprint. With this solution, we offer a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics without compromising on performance.

With our new recyclate-based GC pro compound, we are helping companies meet their sustainability goals while developing innovative and high-performance products.
