At the 12th edition of Polymer Forum, Envalior will present two talks on material solutions supporting the development of sustainable, high-performance and circular component innovations aligned with current market trends. This year's conference is held under the theme "Resources in Circulation", highlighting the focus on circularity. The event is organized by Ter Plastics Polymer Group, a German distributor, compounder and manufacturer of engineering plastics and high-performance polymers based in Bochum. The meeting will take place on June 17 at Stadthalle in Aschaffenburg. Envalior announces presentations focused both on shortening development cycles and reducing costs, and on the use of recycled-content and bio-based materials in the design of components with high performance parameters.
The first presentation, prepared by Caroline Mitterlehner, Executive Vice President of Specialty Materials at Envalior, is titled "Innovation in a VUCA World: Helping Customers Reduce Time, Costs, Risks, and CO2". The presentation is intended to show how innovation can help companies take greater control of business development in conditions of growing volatility in the environment. The acronym VUCA refers to four factors that are increasingly affecting corporate strategies, volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. As the company announces, using examples from automotive, robotics and artificial intelligence, it will show how Envalior's materials and engineering services support the development of cost-efficient, durable, and at the same time more sustainable and recycling-friendly component solutions within short development cycles. The talk is scheduled for 10:05 a.m. CEST.
Materials for designing circular and high-performance components
The second presentation, titled "In the Loop, Envaliors' Sustainable High-Performance Engineering Materials", will be delivered by Dr. Christa Weber, a specialist in circular and low-carbon solutions. The talk is intended to show how sustainable high-performance polymers from Envalior's portfolio enable the design of longer-lasting applications. At the same time, these materials, based on recyclates and/or bio-based feedstocks, are intended to support resource conservation and efficient circular economy models. The company announces that it will present practical approaches limiting the use of fossil resources while maintaining high material performance in components. Particular emphasis is to be placed on solutions tailored to changing customer requirements and regulatory standards. The presentation will take place at 11:30 a.m. CEST.
Dialogue with OEMs and development directions
As Envalior emphasizes, participation in the forum is also intended to provide an opportunity for discussions with representatives of the European plastics industry and international OEMs from, among others, the automotive, home appliance and plastics processing machinery sectors. Philipp Rhein, Application Development Manager at Envalior, states: "At the forum, leading representatives of the European plastics industry will engage in in-depth dialogue on current trends with renowned international OEMs from the automotive, home appliance, and plastics processing machinery industries. We want to demonstrate how our customers and their customers can achieve ambitious sustainability goals and make meaningful contributions to the circular economy, resource preservation, and climate protection through our latest developments in bio-based compounds, materials with recycled content, and plastics with a low carbon footprint."
Detailed information on Envalior materials is also to be available in the MaterialAdvisor tool, which provides digital functions and services for searching, selecting and evaluating materials.
