Sustainable use of plastic materials
Sustainability is an important topic in the plastics industry. The manufacturers we work with are continuously improving the lifespan of their materials.
Plastic production is also becoming increasingly circular, as recycling forms a growing source of raw materials compared to petroleum. Bio-plastics — materials made from natural fibres — will also continue to develop.
Lakwijk focuses on sustainability in two ways. First, we always explore how plastic components can be made lighter without sacrificing functionality, and we advise on the most sustainable solution for each application. Second, we closely monitor developments in bio-plastics and bio-fibres in composites as alternatives to traditional glass or carbon fibres.
