Reduce your carbon footprint by incorporating our materials into your supply chain, without compromising on quality, with full transparency and while being socially inclusive.
VerdiFLX is a groundbreaking material composed of 100% recycled polyolefin pellets. We extract a blend of Polyethylenes (PE) and Polypropylenes (PP) from post-consumer metalised multi-layered plastic packaging (MLP) – waste that’s often considered “impossible to recycle.”
VerdiFLX can be used by itself, or blended with other virgin / recycled PP and/or PE polymers to attain the properties that you require. You can do it, or we can compound it for you as well.
Material Recyclability & End-of-Life: Initial tests suggest that this material can be recycled by conventional methods at least 10 times without losing properties and can be recycled in polyethylene or polypropylene streams due to purity and compatibilisers. This sounds too good to be true, so we are working on validating and replicating this, but early signs are good.
We can edit the material to modify its key parameters like Melt Flow Index (MFI) and basic Mechanical Properties (Modulus, Elongation and Tensile Strength) within a range.
We do this by tweaking additives and blending it with other recycled polymers or virgin polymers as required.
Our material can there work in the following manufacturing methods:
The customizability allows this material to have a wide range of applications. Here are some potential applications:
The high impact resistance and high elongation at break makes it suitable for manufacturing goods which are durable and can withstand some rough usage
This material can be used for flip-flops, soles and outer layers of shoes given its moderate hardness and high elongation at break which can provide good cushioning
The high elongation at break and good impact resistance would make the material suitable for furniture and related products that requires durability and resilience
The high impact resistance and elongation at break would be advantageous for manufacturing pet toys that can withstand biting and pulling forces. Can also be used to construct parts of pet houses which do not require extremely high rigidity
The high impact resistance makes it suitable for use in protective gear like helmet shells and protective pads. It can also be used for Yoga blocks, foam rollers and playground equipment offering durability and resilience.
It can be used for manufacturing fasteners, buttons, or other components of clothing and accessories. Can also be used in making buckles for belts, bags, etc., where moderate hardness is required.
It can be used in the manufacturing of frames and mouldings for art pieces, providing good impact resistance and moderate hardness.
The high impact resistance makes it suitable for use in protective gear like helmet shells and protective pads. It can also be used for Yoga blocks, foam rollers and playground equipment offering durability and resilience.
The material is suitable for making storage containers due to its moderate hardness and good impact resistance.
Interior components like storage bins and non-structural bumper components that don’t require extremely high strength but benefit from good impact resistance and high elongation at break.
The high elongation at break suggests that it can be used in the manufacturing of pipes or conduits which require a good degree of flexibility. Can also be used in making non-structural components, such as panels, given its moderate tensile and flexural strength.
Can be used to make durable transport packaging which needs to withstand impacts and stresses during transportation.
Can be used to make a wide variety of caps for large bottles and containers, especially with the flexibility that it offers.
Its properties allow it to be used in manufacturing traffic safety products like bollards or traffic cones, which benefit from good impact resistance.
