Variety Series Edition 3 of 5: Sustainable Materials for Technical Applications

Bio-Based, Recycled and PFAS-Free Materials for Industrial Applications  

Industries are increasingly looking for sustainable materials that combine environmental responsibility with high technical performance. As part of the APSO Variety 2026 series, Edition 3 highlights PFAS-free sealing solutions, bio-based engineering plastics and post-industrial recycled materials for industries such as automation, fluid technology, food processing and mechanical engineering. 

Explore advanced alternatives developed to support efficient and future-oriented industrial production.

Finding PFAS-free sealing technology has become a practical priority for maintenance engineers working under tightening regulatory requirements. Our stocks a growing range of compliant alternatives like HNBR, which is[ED1.1] an alternative to FKM O-rings and plates for demanding industrial applications with improved environmental compliance and engineered to meet the similar performance demands as conventional fluoropolymer seals. 

Engineering Plastics Technology – Bio Based Plastics

100% Bio-based engineering plastics offer a renewable-source alternative to conventional polymers without compromising mechanical performance. In our online shop you can find standard semi-finished forms, including plates and round bars in POM-H, POM-C and PA6G, designed for demanding technical applications with up to 88% lower CO₂ footprint than conventional materials. 

Engineering Plastics Technology – Post Industrial Recycled Plastics

Using recycled engineering plastics is becoming a practical priority for manufacturers aiming to reduce waste without compromising performance. Our Post Industrial Recycled (PIR) POM-C materials, available as plate and round bars, are produced from controlled manufacturing scrap and reprocessed into high-quality engineering plastics for demanding industrial applications.
