A product made from our ARBOBLEND® material: In Ellwangen, an artificial turf pitch made from bio-based materials has been created. A milestone for sustainable sports facilities in Germany and a model for Europe. With around 9,000 artificial turf pitches in Germany and an estimated 16,000 tons of microplastics released annually across the EU (source: ECHA), NaKuRa (sustainable artificial turf pitch) is an urgent contribution to ecological renewal. The focus is on the ARBOBLEND® infill – an innovative infill granulate that is biodegradable in soil and water and remains durable as long as it stays within the system – as well as the artificial turf fibers made from a specially developed ARBOBLEND® formula with high temperature and weather resistance. The other implemented environmentally friendly systems, such as the novel elastic layer based on pure recycled plastics, represent a well-considered step towards a circular economy. Sustainability in sports is not only possible – it is crucial for the future.

Fried sets another example for sustainability: Five CUBOS C44E charging stations have been put into operation on the premises of Fried Kunststofftechnik. What makes them special is that their housings are made from 100 percent renewable raw materials. Sustainable housings from our own production An innovative customer device impressed the Fried team with its holistic sustainable concept. The housing components, which have been in series production for a year, served as the basis for a further experiment. Originally, the wallbox was made from Covestro's sustainable Bayblend® RE plastic, which is produced from recycled vegetable oils. However, the experts at Fried went one step further and used ARBOBLEND® for their own charging stations – a material made from completely renewable raw materials. ARBOBLEND®: 100% bio-based material ARBOBLEND® is an innovative biocomposite material from Tecnaro GmbH and represents a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics. The material consists of renewable raw materials such as lignin, starch, natural fibers, or biodegradable polymers and is recyclable, depending on the formulation. ARBOBLEND® thus makes an active contribution to reducing fossil resources and promoting a circular economy. Thanks to its versatile processing properties, the material is ideal for injection molding and can be specifically adapted to mechanical, thermal, or optical requirements. Five of these sustainable wall boxes have been in use on the Fried Kunststofftechnik company premises for over a year. The customer is currently investigating whether series production with ARBOBLEND® can be realized.

Consulting services for component designs Why is early consultation important? Designs that are not tailored to the requirements of the injection molding process lead to unnecessary reworking, additional costs and loss of time. Our offer: Take advantage of our decades of expertise in working with plastics. With our new consulting service, we support you right from the component design stage and ensure that your project is on course for success right from the start. Your advantages: Clarity and feasibility: designs suitable for injection molding right from the start. Save time and costs: No unnecessary correction loops and revisions. Faster market launch: No delays thanks to well thought-out planning. How does our consulting work? Ideally, our consultation begins before the start of component design. Get in touch with us at an early stage so that we can analyze your requirements together and develop solutions suitable for injection moulding. Thanks to our many years of experience, you will quickly receive practicable suggestions that will make your processes more efficient and avoid unnecessary correction loops.

Using the technologies available in-house, surfaces can be customized individually. Illuminated symbols, disappearing effects, color variations, or surface textures can all be implemented according to customer requirements.

The combination of color expertise from the CCC (Color Competence Center) and expertise in the formulation of plastics have resulted in the ability to continually achieve further developments in the possibilities of aesthetic surfaces in comparison to what currently exists. The CRE.ACTIVE Design approach makes it possible to achieve compatibility between the following elements: · INNOVATIVE DESIGN · REDUCTION OF THE CO2 FOOTPRINT · COST REDUCTION · RECYCLABILITY CRE.ACTIVE Design - MOLD IN COLOR solutions facilitate countless and innovative design possibilities: The CRE.ACTIVE Design portfolio includes technical plastics in colors with profound impact, with high-gloss finishes and/or matt effect on smooth or textured surfaces and also with the possibilities of a metallic effect, soft touch or ceramic feel. A combination of surfaces with high-gloss, grained and laser-textured areas can be created on the same part with the use of just one tool. CRE.ACTIVE Design provides a multitude of design options while at the same time offering significant energy and cost savings in comparison with the use of multiple tools and subsequent surface treatments such as lacquering. Reduction of the CO2 footprint is a current and shared challenge for all sectors. There are various possible paths to achieving this goal – the CRE.ACTIVE Design MOLD IN COLOR solutions immediately offer multiple benefits because they optimize the entire process: No additional processes are required for part decoration after injection molding, for example, the transport and energy costs are lower and fewer raw materials are used – meaning that the finished product has a significantly lower CO2 footprint than a product produced using conventional methods. The recyclability of the MOLD IN COLOR solutions provides additional benefits as a valuable resource for a closed loop materials cycle because no additional color lacquer is used.

We produce customised filters, sieves and screens using the plastic injection moulding process. The geometries and designs of the filter screens can be designed to meet individual customer requirements and applications. With the plastic injection moulding process, certain functions can also be integrated into the part design. When selecting the plastic, the application and the requirements for the plastic part are decisive. We process all common polymers from PE, PP, ABS, PC, POM, PBT, PA, PPA, PPS to PEEK. We process all common types of woven mesh with materials, mesh sizes and thread or wire diameters adapted to the application. We mainly concentrate on stainless steel and plastic mesh. We also use galvanic filter foils, nonwoven, fleece and membrane material.
