Mission

MEDIAN Kunststoff Service GmbH is a research and development service provider in the field of plastics from Hof/Saale in Upper Franconia.

Our plastics expertise includes both conventional and bioplastics as well as recyclates.

Our actions focus on a holistic view of the product and plastic life cycle. This includes sustainable development, taking into account possible end-of-life options. Strategic development of sustainable products enables growth! The topics of “sustainability” and “circular economy” are currently very much in vogue in industry and society.

We support you with our expertise from the project idea, through the feasibility study, to the development of the finished product. If you require public funding for your R&D project, we will be happy to assist you with our experience from countless funded projects.

In addition, we develop individual test programs for your raw materials/plastics or plastic products and act as external quality assurance for your company.

Vision

We are guided by the idea of sustainable production, application and reuse of plastic products. In our view, both conventional, petrochemical-based plastics and the new bioplastics entering the market have a right to exist.

In the future, plastics will increasingly be seen as “recyclable materials” that can be recovered at the end of their product life and reused for high-quality applications. This also means that product design will be increasingly optimized in terms of recyclability.

On the other hand, in tomorrow’s world, a clear distinction will be made between short-lived disposable plastic products and long-lasting, primarily technical plastic products. Degradable bioplastics and/or single-origin plastics in particular will be used for disposable solutions. The circular economy will also play a role for long-life products, but at a different level compared to short-life products.

We at MEDIAN Kunststoff Service GmbH are full of optimism about our future, which we are actively shaping with our contribution to greater sustainability in the plastics industry. We are enthusiastic about our work because we know that it is a meaningful contribution to the future of us all!
