Sustainability 31. August 2023

Conventional plastics are made from petroleum. It is well known that this has some disadvantages. For one thing, petroleum is a fossil raw material that is not available in infinite quantities. On the other hand, these conventionally produced plastics cannot be degraded naturally and thus make a significant contribution to the steadily increasing environmental pollution. To counteract this, there are now numerous plastics that are made from renewable raw materials and are completely biodegradable - the so-called biopolymers.

For the production of such biopolymers, numerous raw materials have to be handled in parallel - and this is where AZO comes in. With our expertise in raw material automation, we are able to meet the diverse raw material requirements and make our contribution to the production of high-quality biopolymers.
