About the Product Family

Most of our M·BIOBASE® compounds consist, amongst other things, of biomass-balanced polypropylene (PP), which is derived wholly or partly from renewable raw materials such as vegetable oils and waste oils. These selected compounds are certified to ISCC PLUS, which ensures the traceability of the massbalanced material flow throughout the entire value chain. The proportion of ISCC-certified bio-circular material is sourced and allocated to the relevant compound in accordance with the ISCC mass balance approach, and is stated separately by us for each compound.

Switching from conventional polypropylene to this alternative material is straightforward, as it can be used as a drop-in solution in production without adjusting process parameters. This alternative offers comparable properties and suits a wide range of applications.

Furthermore, the M·BIOBASE® material range also includes compounds containing wood fibres sourced from waste streams in the timber industry.

Our biobased compounds based on polylactic acid (PLA) are derived from renewable sources, such as sugar. The PLA-based compounds are not certified. We specify biobased content on a product-by-product basis.

We offer suitable masterbatches in cooperation with our sister company AF-COLOR. These colour masterbatches are named in line with their use in the circular economy AF-CirColor® and AF-CirCarbon®. The portfolio is complemented by AF-CirComplex® additive masterbatches.
