Plastics distributor and compounder WIS Kunststoffe will be presenting a broad portfolio of application-specific recyclates, including its new certified recyclates containing up to 100% post-consumer recycled content, the company announced.
WIS, whose recycling plant recently earned EuCertPlast certification, offers recyclates from both post-consumer sources (PCR) and post-industrial sources (PIR). At Fakuma, WIS Kunststoffe is showcasing its odour-optimised polypropylene and polyethylene recyclates, suitable for sensitive applications, such as toys or household applications. For applications in the automotive industry, special "high-tech" recyclates (PCR) have been developed that meet the high standards of the industry and already fulfil the criteria of the upcoming regulations in this area. Reinforced variants (e.g. with glass fibres, glass beads, or talc) are also offered for exterior components, while odor-optimised grades with low emission values are available for interiors. Also new are polyamides with high heat resistance for technical applications, especially in the engine compartment. For the packaging industry, WIS now offers recycled polystyrenes (rPS).
All materials from WIS Kunststoffe have application-specific approvals. These include European food approvals according to (EU) No. 10/2011 , FDA, leave-on & rinse-off for cosmetics (EC) No. 1223/2009 and EN-71 for the toy industry. All common conformities can be confirmed, such as REACH, California Proposition 65, SVHC, etc.
