SOLUTIONS TO END OUR RELIANCE ON VIRGIN PLASTIC.

At MATERI’ACT, the status-quo is out of the question. Given the urgent need to slash emissions and environmental impact, our teams combine their skills, energy and creativity to develop high-performance materials from recycled plastic and biomass.

Our aim? Create materials that generate up to 85% less carbon, while guaranteeing supercharged performance (to strict industry specs) and aesthetics. That’s why we use recycled waste plastic or biomass as our main feedstock – helping shift away from virgin plastic and contribute to a circular economy.

Compounds

These are subtle (almost magical) blends of different raw materials – like polymers, mineral fillers, natural fibres & technical additives – designed to obtain super-properties that are useful for end users. Ours incorporate recycled and biosourced content – reducing their carbon footprint and providing spec-smart alternatives to virgin plastic. Not to mention being 100% recyclable

Biomass Plastic Waste

NAFILean

A complete range of biocomposite materials. Joint-Venture with local agricultural cooperative INTERVAL. Up to 45% natural fibers combined with a broad range of polymers. Up to 90% CO2 emission reduction.

Plastic Waste

IniCycled

High-performance grades for stringent specifications including impact & UV. Containing primarily post-consumer and end of life vehicle recycled content. Up to 42% CO2 emission reduction.

IniFlex

A TPE polyolefin based performance -material ideal for automotive passenger airbag applications. Well suited to favor circularity though a monomaterial approach

Surface Materials

These are subtle (almost magical) blends of different raw materials – like polymers, mineral fillers, natural fibers & technical additives – designed to obtain super-properties that are useful for end users. Ours incorporate recycled and biosourced content – reducing their carbon footprint and providing spec-smart alternatives to virgin plastic.

Biomass

Artificial Leather

Alternatives to petroleum-based PVC and leather including bio-based knit fabric made from pineapple leaves. Vegan. Up to 91% lower CO2 footprint than leather.

Plastic Waste

TPO

Alternatives to petroleum-based TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) including TPO made from recycled content for thermo- covering such as IMG and PVF processes.

WHERE WE LOOK FOR ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION

Recycled plastic: life in a loop

Why produce more virgin plastic when we can recycle what already exists? By adding recycled plastic content, our materials limit the extraction and use of new resources, while guaranteeing top-notch quality and traceability.

Biomass : natural, renewable resources

Integrating materials derived from biomass, such as hemp or pineapple fibres, to develop biosourced plastics that store (rather emitting) carbon – or recovering waste and unused plant parts – offers exciting, alternatives to fossil fuel materials
