Color and performance with a lighter footprint, masterbatch for recycled, renewable and responsibly made plastics.

Helping customers work in more recycled and renewable content, design for recyclability, and bring down the footprint of every part.

Plastics make modern life lighter, safer and more efficient, and managing their impact is on us as much as anyone. For Astra Polymers, sustainability is a simple idea: help customers do more with less. That means masterbatches and compounds that work with recycled and renewable content, support recyclability, and run cleanly and efficiently in our own plants. We don't see color and additives as an obstacle to circularity. Used well, they extend product life, cut waste and make the next generation of responsible plastics possible.

Recycled & circular solutions

Color and additive masterbatches built for post-consumer and post-industrial recycled (PCR/PIR) resins, with correction additives that restore appearance and processability, so converters can push recycled content higher.

Bio-based & renewable carriers

Masterbatches compatible with bio-based and renewable polymers, so brands can raise renewable content without giving up color or performance.

Compostable & biodegradable grades

Color and additive solutions for compostable polymers such as PLA and Mater-Bi, supporting certified single-use, agricultural and organic-waste applications.

Design for recyclability

Mono-material-friendly and detectable colors, including NIR-sortable blacks, that keep packaging compatible with automated recycling streams.

Efficient, responsible operations

ISO 9001:2015 manufacturing with energy- and waste-conscious processes and dust-free additive dosing that reduce off-spec material and rework.

A partner in lower footprint

From formulation through line trials, we work with customers to trim material use, downgauge safely and lower the finished product's carbon footprint.
