Tel Aviv, Israel (ots/PRNewswire) – New portfolio allows companies to select the appropriate UBQ™ product line that meets desired environmental and performance requirements
UBQ Materials, developer of climate technology and advanced materials from waste, today unveiled its portfolio of sustainable products. The new, comprehensive product portfolio includes sustainable, bio-based materials. These include three bio-based replacement materials as well as sustainable additives and two modifiers. Each product range has its own complementary characteristics and has been developed with specific sustainability goals in mind, including waste separation, circularity, post-use recycling and greenhouse gas removal and avoidance.
“Everyone who deals with material alternatives knows that sustainability always comes at the expense of product performance to a certain extent. But even with minimal use of UBQ materials, companies can achieve a negative carbon footprint – a win-win scenario for sustainability and business success,” said Patricia Mishic O’Brien, CCO of UBQ Materials. “Sustainability is becoming one for our customers “An indispensable factor. Companies that use UBQ products gain a market advantage and achieve their sustainability goals, while at the same time expanding their pricing power.”
The new replacement materials and additives are based exclusively on UBQ Materials’ globally patented waste-to-materials approach and overcome typical performance challenges that often arise when integrating sustainable materials. The product lines are divided into sustainable additives (10% to 30% of UBQ-based material) and replacement materials (25% and more of UBQ-based material). This allows compounders and manufacturers to determine the right dosage to find the right balance between consistent performance and sustainability benefits.
“Sustainable product development has so far been limited by material efficiency. Now compounders, product manufacturers and designers can focus on sustainability benefits in their processes and product lines,” explained Mishic O’Brien. “Our goal is to offer a holistic range of functional sustainability options. We believe our new product lines will bring benefits to our customers while ensuring significant growth for UBQ Materials in the future.”
The product portfolio includes three bio-based, sustainable additives and replacement materials for a wide range of sustainability requirements such as circularity, recyclability, reduction of the CO2 footprint and positive climate impact:
• UBQ ClimaPos™: A bio-based, climate-positive and sustainable additive for the removal and avoidance of greenhouse gases that supports companies in (over)fulfilling their ambitious climate goals. It can be used, for example, in plant containers, animal and transport boxes and window profiles. With just 5% ClimaPos™, climate neutrality can be achieved for the product.
• UBQ Q-Series: With the proven standard replacement material UBQ™, the Q series enables 1-to-1 replacement of the material. It is suitable for most polymers. It can be used in all industries, including automotive and mobility, construction, logistics and supply chain management. If the product properties allow this, it can be used as the sole material.
• UBQ Industrial: A replacement material for high-quality, reliable and functional use, for example in transport pallets, bitumen roof panels or building infrastructure. UBQ Industrial is a cost-effective material for applications where function is more important than appearance.
The primary product can be combined or enhanced with additional modifiers to achieve desired properties, optimize product development and achieve greater safety in product manufacturing. Supportive formulations for additional benefits include:
• UBQ Nclozur™: A sustainable, odor-reducing additive; ideal for indoor and outdoor use such as car interiors, consumer products, floor coverings, shoes or carpet backings.
• UBQ Impact: A bio-based additive that is compatible with many polymers to meet specific performance requirements such as impact resistance. This enables climate-positive, circular use in coverings, office furniture and car exterior mirrors.
With just 5% UBQ replacement materials or additives, companies achieve more circularity and CO2 neutrality or even CO2 negative/climate positive results – whether in individual products or entire supply chains. By developing products with different stress levels and capabilities, UBQ enables companies to achieve their productivity goals without fossil plastics.
“We have been testing and developing applications together with our customers for many years. Our product range is intended to pave the way towards circular production,” explained Gil Felus, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Innovation Officer at UBQ Materials. “This means that sustainability and profitability are no longer mutually exclusive.”
The company works closely with compounders, value chain producers, brand partners and product developers to find the ideal formulation for each application.
