CHECKING FOR THE ABSENCE OF PLASTIC

Since January 1, 2020, petro-based single-use products (from the transformation of petroleum) such as cutlery, cups or plates are no longer accessible. New alternatives are therefore emerging to replace this polluting component. Manufacturers of straws rely on bamboo , those of plates and cups favor cardboard/cellulose.

But are you sure that your products are 100% plastic free?


Plastic free

You meet needs:

Are you a distributor of straws, cups and any other object intended for single use and want to check that your products do not contain any plastic compounds? Or check that no polymer from petrochemicals has slipped into your paper plates?

Are you a manufacturer looking for a new composition for your products and wish to carry out structural identification tests on finished products?

Call on the Polymex laboratory!


POLYMEX ACCOMPANIES YOU

The Polymex team analyzes your products to determine their composition! Many analyzes have recently been carried out to verify the absence of plastics in different products. Sometimes customers have had the unpleasant surprise of learning that their supposedly wooden product was in fact composed, for example, of a Polycaprolactone / Poly lactic acid copolymer.
Or a manufacturer of bamboo fiber straws realized, thanks to our analysis by Pyrolysis coupled with a GCMS , that the binder it used contained plastic compounds, thus making the product prohibited on the market.
