Pöppelmann blue® KAPSTO®, plastic protective elements

Protective elements made from recycled plastic.

As part of our company-wide initiative PÖPPELMANN blue®, which aims to close material loops, we are developing sustainable protective caps and plugs. The protective elements are made from post-consumer recyclate (PCR), which is produced from used plastic products that have already gone through a complete life cycle. As our sustainable plastic caps and plastic stoppers are themselves 100% recyclable, they can be used to manufacture new caps and stoppers, as well as other plastic products, after use. This allows them to return to the material cycle.

The plastic content of our sustainable plastic caps and plastic stoppers consists of 100% PCR. We use the recycled material PCR polyethylene (PCR-PE) and PCR polypropylene (PCR-PP). All KAPSTO® products made from PCR-PE, PCR-PP and PCR-PE-HD bear the German government's Blue Angel eco-label, which is awarded for environmentally friendly products and guarantees that the products are made from at least 80% recycled material.
