UBQ Materials introduces new sustainability product portfolio

UBQ Materials introduced its Sustainability Product Portfolio which is meticulously engineered to meet specific sustainability targets, including waste diversion, circularity, increased post-consumer recycled content and emissions removal and avoidance.

UBQ Materials introduced a new Sustainability Product Portfolio with three bio-based material replacements and sustainability additives, as well as two modifiers.

The new product portfolio encompasses three bio-based material replacements and sustainability additives, including:

• UBQ ClimaPos: A bio-based, climate-positive sustainability additive with proven uses including planters, pet carriers, transport boxes and window profiles.

• UBQ Q Series: A standard material replacement for UBQ that blend with most polymers. It can be used across industries, including automotive and mobility, building and construction, and logistic and supply chain management applications.

• UBQ Industrial: A material replacement engineered for high-value function and reliability in operational uses, from shipping pallets in logistics to bitumen roofing or building infrastructure.

The new material replacements and additives are all based on UBQ Materials’ globally patented waste-to-materials approach. The product lines are suitable as sustainability additives (10-30% load of UBQ-based material) or as material replacements (greater than 25% and higher load of UBQ-based material).

These primary formulations can be combined with additional modifiers or enhancers to achieve desired properties, optimizing product development and reducing guesswork for product manufacturing. The two modifiers are:

• UBQ Nclozur: A sustainability modifier formulated for odor mitigation. It can be used for indoor and interior applications.

• UBQ Impact: An enhancer that blends with a range of polymer matrices to meet performance requirements. It is ideal for applications as diverse as decking, office furniture and car-door mirrors.

By incorporating as little as 5% of a UBQ material replacement or additive, businesses can achieve greater circularity and carbon-neutrality.
