      CO2-Fußabdruck und –Einsparungen

      Für rezyklatbasierende Typen lässt TechnoCompound seit 2023 den CO2-Fußabdruck und die CO2-Einsparungen unter Nennung des PIR/PCR-Verhältnisses von dem Partnerunternehmen ConClimate ermitteln. Diese Werte basieren auf Berechnungen mit der Software Substain, die auf Basis anerkannter Emissionsfaktoren die CO2­­-Emissionen (Scope 1, 2 und 3) einschließlich der Verpackung zur Verfügung stellt. Bsp: Produkt mit hohem CO2-Einsparungspotential (Kombi PCR/PIR) PP GF oder PP EPDM T 20/10

      With the new GRAFECOLORS 2026/27, GRAFE takes its customers on a journey through five spheres that interweave the past, present, and future in an incomparable way. Each of the five collections tells its own story—and gives designers, product developers, and brands inspiration on how to stage the future in color. The GRAFE DESIGN CENTER regularly publishes a customized trend brochure that analyzes the trends for the coming years, researched by leading trend institutes and transferred to the world of plastics by our color experts: 15 Colors compiled in five iconic worlds Urban Nostalgics Warm earth tones full of comfort, contrasted by glittering metallic effects. Nomads Between Worlds Neon colors and mystical blue merge reality and virtuality. Sensual Spheres Soft, creamy shades and cool water tones combine technology and emotion. Natural Resilience Calm blue tones with a delicate mint green reflect the fragility of nature. Joyful Uprising Optimism and creative energy unfold in a brightly colored mix. A tangible source of inspiration But GRAFECOLORS 2026/27 is more than just a trend brochure: with the matching sample box, it serves as a source of inspiration for designers and allows them to experience the colors haptically through their interpretation in plastic. Accompanying the booklet is a selection of sample tiles in a distinctive hexagonal shape. Each tile shows its own combination of polymer, trend color formulation, surface, and effect pigment. In addition to conventional plastics of petrochemical origin such as PA, PAGF30, SAN, PETG, and recycled rPETG, biological alternatives such as PLA, PHA, and ARBOBLEND V2 also serve as base polymers for the hexagons. Whether opaque, translucent, or transparent, with or without optical effects, in petrochemical or biological polymers—the colorists at the GRAFE DESIGN CENTER are always a source of creative inspiration for a wide variety of industries.
