NMC presents NMC NATUREFOAM™, the first certified polyolefin biofoam from renewable raw materials and 100% recyclable

At the international trade fair for the plastic processing industries FAKUMA in Friedrichshafen in  October, 2011  NMC presented the first polyolefin biofoam tested by the international Institute Vinçotte and certified with a star: NMC NATUREFOAM™  – this certified foam is the first in Europe, which is made to a large extent from renewable raw materials and is fully recyclable.

An application for a patent has already been filed for NMC NATUREFOAM™, and in the coming year (2012), NMC will bring on the market a product line in packaging with this new material, beginning with the NOMAPACK® GREEN packing profiles.

With NMC NATUREFOAM™, NMC underscores its commitment to sustainable product development in foam extrusion. As one of the leading companies in this field, NMC has been doing pioneering work for over 20 years. It refrained from using CFCs and HCFCs to make its products early on, thereby playing a pioneering role in the plastic foam sector. The selection of materials as well as the ecological production processes have been constantly improved over time, so that a large portion of the overall product range can today be recycled.

The vision of sustainable product development and production, forged by the founder of the company, Gert Noël, now deceased, has been a strong influence on the group from the outset.

With the new unveiled product, NMC is once again asserting its commitment to sustainable development more than ever before.
