Introduction of Plastic injection molding materials

Guan Lin Industrial provides clients with numerous choices in materials. In addition to general purpose plastics, clients can select biodegradable material and GRS-certified post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials. The diverse options in material allow clients to align their product choices with their sustainability objectives. 

In response to growing global concerns in carbon emissions, several countries are imposing stricter regulations. The European Union, in particular, has enacted legislation that would impose carbon import taxes on goods entering the EU in 2026. The primary aim of the tax is to hold manufacturers accountable for the carbon dioxide emitted throughout their manufacturing processes. In order to clearly understand the total carbon emitted of a factory, manufacturer can conduct a carbon footprint assessment involves calculating the amount of carbon emitted based on several factors, including materials used, energy consumed in production processes and transportation involved and more. This assessment will provide a comprehensive picture of carbon emissions of the entire manufacturing process which aid in identifying the specific portion of a manufacturing process that consumes unnecessary energy and emitted additional amounts of carbon. 

From the perspective of material, due to the lack of energy consumed in refinement of crude oil, GRS-certified PCR material emitted less carbons comparing to other petro-based materials. This leads to better product competitiveness because of lower carbon import tax.
