Eco-friendly materials

The environment is at the core of our concerns. Offering eco-responsible, reliable and environmentally-friendly alternatives is our priority.

We have developed a wide range of solutions combining circular economy and co-product recovery. We offer two ranges to suit your needs:

  • The TERVIA range reflects our expertise in formulating biomaterials based on biodegradable polymers. We integrate plant fibers and mineral fillers, such as wheat bran, coffee grounds, scallops, etc., into our products.

 

  • The SPHERA range brings together our materials with a reduced carbon footprint. We integrate post-industrial and post-consumer co-products, thus promoting the circular economy.

Du filet de pêche à la matière

plastic polymers nets pech eco-friendly

Our Breton partner Fil&Fab, in collaboration with Elixance, is giving a second life to used fishing nets by incorporating them into polymers.

Incorporating fishing nets gives the material an eco-responsible identity, a unique touch that combines aesthetics and the environment.

Du sarment de vigne à la matière

plastic biopolymers vine sarment

A vine shoot is a green branch that the plant produces each year and which bears the bunches of grapes. Vine shoots are pruned in winter or early spring to improve the quality and yield of the harvest. Once cut, vine shoots are generally burnt. To make the most of this bio-waste from the wine-growing sector, we incorporate it into the material to give it a second life. This reduces the carbon footprint while adding a touch of originality to the material.

Commitments and a philosophy consistent with today’s challenges

Our eco-friendly materials aim to reduce the environmental impact of your products. Our materials are made from polymers that can be recycled, or are biodegradable or biosourced. Incorporating post-consumer or post-industrial co-products into our materials means we can consume fewer resources while recovering organic, mineral or industrial waste.

 

Thanks to our experience, our research and innovation department, our expertise and our equipment, we are able to develop new materials based on the properties required by your applications.

 

Our commitments:

An approach that promotes the circular economy while encouraging production in collaboration with local economic players.

The fibres and natural fillers used in our ranges come from renewable resources and are GMO-free.

For certain outdoor applications, the use of biodegradable materials is necessary to facilitate natural disintegration and limit the environmental impact.
The integration of post-industrial or post-consumer co-products and plant fibres gives your parts an aesthetic appearance.
