As a manufacturer of expanded polystyrene EPS and expanded polypropylene EPP foams moulded parts, we combine performance and growth to offer ever greater business expertise. In 30 years, we have developed our know-how and our mastery of the various technologies related not only to packaging but also to the manufacture of technical parts.
We regularly introduce sustainable solutions and services to the market that contribute to our customers’ success. This is how we ensure our long-term success with our customers from different industries. We search for new materials to meet the ever increasing demands on performance. Our current projects include solutions in bio-based materials, biodegradable materials, recycled materials and speciality foams with thermal resistance, mechanical strength or low VOC or CO2 performance.
Our mission is to provide our customers with solutions for the circular economy to ensure sustainable growth!
In partnership with its customers and suppliers, KNAUF Industries has developed NEOPS®, a REDcert² certified cellular material made from biomass (green waste).
NEOPS® is an alternative to expanded polystyrene (EPS). This material innovation by Knauf Industries is the result of a collaboration between ID lab and the producers of the raw material. NEOPS® is manufactured according to the biomass balance concept.
Certified REDcert² (certification system for the use of sustainable biomass in the chemical industry), this cellular material is non-retrofuel and is derived from renewable non-food resources (green waste) according to the Mass Balance method. This innovation reduces the use of fossil raw materials and greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions by at least 30%.
NEOPS® is available with different performances (thermal, fire resistance, shock absorption and food contact). At the end of their life, NEOPS® products will be sorted and recycled through existing EPS channels.
To date, 10 Knauf Industries sites are REDcert² certified:
8 in France and 2 in Spain.
The new mono-material suitable for food packaging made from up to 100% recycled post-consumer plastics. Formulated on a polypropylene PP base, it completes the KAP’ range of materials by offering a perfect sealing quality under protective atmosphere or under skin. It can be microwaved and pasteurised and is available in Kapseal®, Kapclear® and Kaplight®. In addition to its excellent sealing qualities, R’kap® is 100% recyclable in existing PP channels.
Knauf Industries favours solutions based on 100% recyclable materials that can be integrated into the sorting channels.
We are at your disposal to bring you the best possible solutions.
