Sustainability has become one of the major issues facing society today. Companies are increasingly focused on their environmental impact. TimaFlex has been dedicated for years to producing plastics using the most sustainable methods possible. The main focus of our industry is the lifespan of plastic. This poses a risk but also an incredible opportunity all at once. Because the problem is not whether to use plastic or not. Plastic waste is the problem: it takes a very long time to decompose. Our sustainable approach in 6 steps:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You can return your used plastics to us free of charge. TimaFlex recycles the material that is still usable and processes it into new applications. This way, we extend the life cycle of the raw material and give the product a new life cycle. You receive a certificate stating that your company is handling waste materials responsibly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Bio-based and compostable plastics are a rapidly developing field, offering many new possibilities. Production processes for these plastics have dramatically improved in recent years. This makes bio-
based and compostable plastics suitable for use in an ever-increasing range of applications, including for TimaFlex products.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Product or raw material? Avoid confusion<\/strong><\/p>

TimaFlex makes a clear distinction between raw materials and products. Just because the lifecycle of a plastic product ends, it does not necessarily mean that the raw material decomposes. On our work floor, we reuse plastic every day to make new products, for example. We grind our start-up waste from certain products and process them later into new extruded profiles. As a result, we have reduced waste within our production facility to a
minimum. Outside our company, the circular mentality is still in its early stages. That is why TimaFlex believes that all companies in the plastics industry must find solutions, whenever possible, for how to handle plastic products at the end of their life cycle.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
