PLASTRON® LFT: A Sustainable Solution for Logistics Packaging

Polyplastics Corporation, headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has unveiled an eco-friendly packaging solution specifically designed for logistics companies. The product, known as PLASTRON® LFT, is a long fiber cellulose reinforced resin that combines high strength with the ability to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Recently, its application has been successfully integrated into the packaging material "Emuneji®" developed by Asakawa Group Transport Co., promoting sustainable practices in the logistics sector.

The Evolution of Packaging Material

The Emuneji® is a resin-based packaging material that secures reinforced cardboard intended for transport. Unlike conventional metallic fasteners that often require specialized tools and experienced manual work, Emuneji® simplifies the process. It can be easily installed with a power screwdriver, streamlining operational efficiency. Additionally, since the fastener does not protrude, it enhances safety during both handling and transport, addressing critical aspects of logistics operations.

Strength Meets Sustainability

For transport packaging, materials must withstand challenging logistic environments, especially when used in international shipping. Traditional biomass materials have often been criticized for their low strength. However, the PLASTRON® LFT resin incorporates long fiber cellulose, resulting in remarkable impact strength and excellent rigidity. This innovative material not only meets the physical demands of shipping but does so with an environmentally-friendly mindset.

The cellulose used in PLASTRON® LFT is derived from plants, making it a sustainable material choice. Furthermore, the material facilitates thermal recycling—a method that, unlike glass fibers or metals, does not leave behind residue upon incineration, thus contributing significantly to industrial waste reduction.

Looking Ahead

Polyplastics is poised for future growth through the utilization of biomass raw materials derived from wood-based cellulose. The PLASTRON® LFT product line comprises three different grades, each formulated to offer diverse properties and applications. Detailed specifications and information can be found on the company’s website, as well as downloadable materials that provide comprehensive insights.

In addition, Polyplastics is dedicated to innovation through the development of new grades that incorporate post-consumer recycled materials (PCR). This initiative supports the company's commitment to reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability in packaging materials.

PLASTRON® stands as a registered trademark of Polyplastics Corporation, highlighting its dedication to cutting-edge advancements in resin technology.
