Teknor Apex and UBQ Materials to Further Expand Development of Sustainable Materials
Their strengthened compounding partnership will expedite product development.
Israel’s UBQ Materials, a climate tech developer of advanced materials made from waste, has announced an expansion of its partnership with compounding solutions provider Teknor Apex. The deepened collaboration will catalyze the future development of a robust pipeline for sustainable innovations for carbon-negative manufacturing applications. The partners are exhibiting together at NPE 2024
In collaboration since 2022, Teknor and UBQ Materials will expedite product development leveraging UBQ’s new sustainable product portfolio. With a focus on durables, from industrial to consumer applications, the companies are poised to open new revenue streams for sustainable material integration. New solutions stemming from the partnership will enable customers across the value chain to meet multiple sustainability objectives, including greenhouse gas emissions removal and avoidance, increased use of recycled materials, circularity and reduced reliance on fossil materials.
