TANOS has selected INEOS Styrolution's mechanically recycled ABS for their new mobile system case “Systainer³ Eco M 187”.
Tanos offers innovative and comprehensive storage management and transportation solutions.
INEOS Styrolution's Terluran® ECO GP-22 MR70 used in this application has a 47% lower CO2e footprint compared to conventional plastics.
On Par Properties with Conventionally Produced Product
Terluran® ECO GP-22 MR70 is a mechanical post-consumer recycling (PCR) grade, with a PCR content of 70%. It offers a significantly reduced CO
2 footprint. In addition, the product properties are on par with conventionally produced
Terluran® GP-22. The drop-in characteristic of the material ensures no further conversion investments in the molding process.
Klaus-Martin Berstecher, managing director at TANOS, says, “
The Systainer³ Eco continues the quality promise of the systainer® product family – in other words, it is already sustainable as it is extremely robust and durable. Now the even more environmentally friendly base material Terluran® ECO has been added. This means that it not only has the same good product properties as the tried and tested ABS but is also greener in the best sense of the word.”
TANOS has a history of going the extra mile for the environment. Starting with the construction of their company building using a variety of climate protection features. It continues with the conventional systainer
®, which is already made of pure ABS material and therefore, 99% recyclable. By offering the new Systainer³ Eco M 187, which is largely made from Terluran
® ECO, TANOS has taken a further step towards reducing the ecological footprint of its customers.
Desiree Virgil, account manager at INEOS Styrolution, says, “
I am pleased to work with a customer who shares our own vision of advancing circular solutions that lower emissions and are better for the environment. I am sure their customers will be equally excited once they experience the quality of the new Systainer³ product. It is indeed the same quality as products based on conventional material.”
