Material is at the heart of our expertise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Creativity, sensory appeal, malleability, and feasibility all play a role in our selection process. Our decisions are not only about translating your design ideas; we also take into account a global eco-design approach<\/b> based on a thorough product life cycle analysis.\nMaterial is quite naturally the starting point of our ecofriendly approach.<\/p>\n

Material is quite naturally the starting point of our ecofriendly approach.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The DIAM group has been following a practical strategy for over 10 years now and is among the first 400 global companies <\/b>to be certified by SBTi (Science-based Target Initiative) \u2013 a Paris Agreement initiative launched during COP 21. SBTi\u2019s well-defined goal is for companies to support states in limiting global warming to 1.5\u00b0C.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here at FPM, Fine Packaging Manufacturers<\/b><\/u><\/a><\/span>, plastics, wood, and wood derivatives (plywood, MDF, etc.) are key materials in creating\u00a0our packaging<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. We therefore pay particular attention to their origins and compositions, striving to constantly innovate and improve our impact.<\/p>\n

Zero plastic could well be viable one day, but for now, the material remains prominent throughout the packaging industry. Until then, the question is: How can we do better?<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Virgin plastic is made up of a mixture of fossil fuel materials. The first good move to avoid depleting resources is to choose recycled plastic. The principle behind recycled products \u2013 themselves recyclable \u2013 lies in reusing existing material in production. Among the many objectives set with SBTi, the DIAM group has committed to using 80% recycled material in its plastic supplies by 2030.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our research goes even further, aiming to rework the composition of our recycled plastic from the ground up and answer the question: How can we produce a plastic that\u2019s better for the environment?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

While we wait for bioplastics made entirely out of renewable resources to arrive on the market, we\u2019re working on fillers linked to recycled materials<\/b>trying to reduce the weight and ecological impact of our material.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pinpointing the right blend of vegetable and mineral is harder than you would expect!\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Fillers affect the material\u2019s malleability<\/b>, during transformation and contribute to its final appearance, smell, and texture. The material can become rough, brittle, show flow marks, warp, and even burn during injection. We are adopting an engineering approach in collaboration with suppliers across our entire production chain. We\u2019re testing different chalk fillers, for example.<\/p>\n

To find<\/span> <\/b>plant fillers<\/b><\/span>, running a local sourcing analysis becomes crucial. Supply should be considered within a circular agricultural sector. FPM Thailand is working on by-products from the rice, bamboo, and cane sugar industries, as well as rubber tree residue, given that the latex sector is a major player locally. FPM Portugal is currently testing a filler made from olive pits.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We still have a long way to go to find the perfect proportions, but the stakes are important. FPM shares\u00a0the DIAM group\u2019s commitments<\/u><\/b><\/a>\u00a0and is aiming high in carrying out its responsibilities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
