In addition to recycled materials, Mfinity includes proprietary additives, bio-compounds and custom formulations designed for applications in markets such as automotive, consumer goods, electrical and electronics, and packaging. Some Mfinity resins are third-party certified based on the percentage of recycled content, and select grades have the Food and Drug Administration’s Letter of No Objection (LNO).
“Big brands and OEMs alike have been increasingly pledging to integrate greater proportions of sustainable or recycled materials into their products by 2025 or even earlier,” says Peter Prusak, director of business development at M. Holland. “Aside from the obvious environmental benefits, we’re seeing growing market pull for practical sustainability solutions.”
