Ecoplastomer® achieves a 13% reduction in injection time decreasing manufacturing costs
Initial testing and applications of Ecoplastomers in the automotive sector
Our innovative materials have successfully passed rigorous tests in complex automotive applications. The manufacturer of technical plastic items has used Ecoplastomer® PP-70 to produce parts commercially.
“Remarkably, we achieved an almost 13% reduction in injection time for one component,” said Katarzyna Pokwicka-Croucher, Founder and CEO of Ecopolplast.
Moreover, Ecoplastomer® maintains similar density and hardness to traditional (virgin) materials, ensuring seamless integration into existing manufacturing processes.
“This reduction not only accelerates production cycles but also significantly decreases energy consumption, helping manufacturers save on operational costs and reduce their environmental impact,” added Katarzyna Pokwicka-Croucher.
| Traditional (virgin) material | Ecoplastomer® PP-70 | |
| Injection pressure | 56 bar | 60 bar |
| Compression pressure | 54 bar | 58 bar |
| Dosage time | 2.6 s | 2.07 s |
| Pressing time | 5 s | 3 s |
| Cooling time | 37 s | 34 s |
| Complete cycle time | 44.6 s | 39.07 s |
Environmental and Economic Benefits
With its 100% recycled content, our material significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with traditional materials production. This aligns perfectly with the automotive sector’s growing focus on eco-friendly manufacturing practices.
Choosing Ecoplastomer® helps manufacturers meet their environmental goals and positions them as leaders in the shift towards more sustainable industrial practices.
Furthermore, the reduction in injection time translates to lower energy consumption and operational costs, making Ecoplastomer® an economically advantageous choice for forward-thinking companies committed to sustainability.
