#PRSE starts today in Amsterdam — and we’re ready for inspiring conversations about #circularity. From #recyclates to #bioplastics, we’ll be discussing practical material solutions for the #ppwr era and how they can support #brands and #converters on their sustainability journey.
Stop by booth G100 and meet us in Amsterdam.

The new EU #Bioeconomy Strategy sends an important signal - and we at FKuR fully support this step.
#Bioplastics are positioned much more prominently as a strategic building block for a sustainable and competitive European economy in the recently published EU Bioeconomy Strategy. In doing so, the EU is expanding the previous focus of the #PPWR — which was strongly geared toward design for recycling and the use of recycled materials — by adding another central pillar. The EU has set the objective of integrating bio-based plastics into a coherent PPWR architecture and recognizing them as a complement to recycled-content targets.
From our perspective, this is the right and necessary step:
Bio-based drop-in plastics, such as I'm green™ biobased PE, are just as high-performing and recyclable as conventional plastics — while offering decisive additional benefits:
• lower carbon footprint due to renewable feedstocks
• contribution to defossilization and a carbon-neutral economy
• material options for applications where recycled plastics reach their limits (e.g., contact-sensitive packaging)
By establishing criteria and targets for bio-based plastics within the PPWR framework, packaging manufacturers and brand owners would finally gain planning and investment certainty. Additional benefits would include:
• clear rules for the use of bio-based plastics
• improved comparability and credibility, with less greenwashing
• new options for sustainable packaging design
We are deeply committed to the concept of the circular economy with a strong focus on CO₂ reduction — and have been putting this approach into practice for more than 30 years.
For us, it is clear: a functioning circular economy requires both recycled materials and bio-based plastics — where they make the most sense and embedded within a robust regulatory framework.
We are actively supporting this transition and are keen to contribute our materials expertise and market knowledge to the dialogue.
📩 Get in touch — together, we can shape the future of #sustainable #plastics.
Treffen Sie FKuR auf dem Technologietag Hein!
Am 12. März sind wir wieder auf dem Technologietag Hein vertreten – dem Branchentreff für Produktentwicklung, Formenbau und Produktion in der Kunststoffindustrie.
📍 Hannover Brandboxx, Langenhagen
📌 Stand 117
Carolin Theunissen wird vor Ort sein Ihre Fragen rund um #Biokunststoffe und #Rezyklate beantworten. Gemeinsam mit Ihnen diskutiert sie gerne, wie unsere Granulate dazu beitragen können, fossile Ressourcen zu schonen und die Prinzipien der #Kreislaufwirtschaft in der Praxis umzusetzen.
Erfahren Sie außerdem, wie Sie mit unseren Biokunststoffen und Rezyklaten die Anforderungen der Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (#PPWR) erfüllen können – von der Verwendung recycelter Kunststoffe bis hin zur Recyclingfähigkeit biobasierter oder biologisch abbaubarer Materialien.
Biokunststoffe und Rezyklate erklärt Carolin nicht nur – sie bringt sie auch mit. 😉
An unserem Stand können Sie verschiedenste Anwendungsbeispiele sehen, fühlen und erleben und sich direkt mit Carolin über konkrete Anwendungen und Einsatzmöglichkeiten austauschen.
🎟️ Tipp: Wir halten eine begrenzte Anzahl an Gutscheincodes für einen kostenlosen Eintritt zum Technologietag bereit.
👉 Den Gutscheincode finden Sie auf unserer Webseite.
Wir freuen uns auf Ihren Besuch an Stand 117!

🎉 FKuR Finalist at the German Sustainability Award 2025! 🎉
Even though we didn't take home the win in the “#Plastics and Rubber Industry” category this year, we are incredibly proud to be among the three leading companies recognized as driving forces for a more #sustainable plastics industry.
For us, this nomination is a powerful acknowledgment: Sustainable materials, #bioplastics, #recyclates, and true circular economy solutions are not just aspirations – they are what guides our work every day.
Congratulations to all participants—it is your passion, commitment, and bold ideas that are truly driving sustainable change in our industry!
For us, being a finalist is above all a motivation. We will continue to work passionately to make the plastics industry more sustainable—together with our partners, customers, and everyone who is committed to positive change.
🎄 Eisstockschießen, Glühwein & Teamspirit – unser weihnachtliches Teamevent auf dem Willicher Weihnachtsmarkt 🎄
In bunt gemischten Teams, viel guter Laune und einer großen Portion Neugier traten wir beim Eisstockschießen gegeneinander an. Für die meisten von uns war es das erste Mal – und genau das machte es so spannend: Wer findet die perfekte Technik? Wer entwickelt ungeahnte Talente? Und wer sorgt einfach für die besten Lacher? 😉
Die abteilungsübergreifenden Teams boten eine wunderbare Gelegenheit, Kolleginnen und Kollegen abseits des Arbeitsalltags besser kennenzulernen. Zwischen ambitionierten Würfen, freundschaftlichem Wettbewerb und herzlichem Anfeuern entstanden viele kleine Momente, die uns als FKuR-Familie noch enger zusammenschweißen. Glühwein, Punsch und weihnachtliche Leckereien rundeten den Abend perfekt ab.
Am Ende stand nicht nur ein Siegerteam fest – sondern vor allem das Gefühl, gemeinsam etwas erlebt zu haben, das verbindet. Genau das macht für uns den Zauber der Weihnachtszeit aus. ✨

FKuR presents the first prototypes from the European research project @biobive at the K – The World's No.1 Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber in Düsseldorf. The Hashtag#biodegradable Hashtag#agricultural film on display at our booth today is a prime example of the progress being made in sustainable plastic solutions for agriculture.
What makes this project so special? The BioBIVE Project is developing innovative systems that combine sustainable Hashtag#materials with the controlled release of Hashtag#biobased and bioactive substances to effectively combat plant diseases. Within the project, FKuR is responsible for developing raw material solutions for soil-biodegradable agricultural films. The goal is to support important horticultural crops such as tomatoes, carrots, and especially strawberries, fostering real added value for European agriculture and the environment. Together, we are shaping the future of sustainable agricultural technology! Visit us at our booth in hall 6 booth E48 and discover our latest innovations.
At the K – The World's No.1 Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber things are really heating up – and it’s all with a good dose of humor! 😄
Our colleague asked for a raise and wore a helmet from VOSS-HELME GmbH & Co. KG just to be on the safe side. It is made from Terralene®, a #biobased #plastic renowned for its excellent impact resistance, ensuring safety and durability. Our boss performs the “toughness test.” But don’t worry – it’s all in good fun. The results speak for themselves: colleague unharmed, material top quality! Our materials really stand up to the challenge! At FKuR, we prove that sustainable plastics are not only environmentally conscious but also robust, versatile, and future-proof – whether at the booth or in real-world use.
Come by and learn more about our #bioplastics and #recyclates in Hall 6, Booth E48 – we look forward to seeing you!
Sometimes a product says more than a thousand words — or better yet, it smells. We’re proud to showcase our customer CTP srl and their unique Perfumed #Tags at the K trade fair, made from sustainable #EVA SVT2180.
