Kisuma Chemicals, a global leader in magnesium-based additives, is offering the compounders and converters of recycled plastics a range of additives and synergistic additive blends based on magnesium to upgrade the performance and consistency of their products.

Significant benefits include odor scavenging and reduction, melt flow index retention, color and yellowing index retention and gel reduction. 

“As part of a major initiative to expand our portfolio, we are working closely with our customers to help them unlock the full potential of recycled plastics,” says Zachary Hoffman, Business Development Lead Europe, Middle East & Africa for Kisuma.

“Beyond a diversified suite of magnesium-based additives already available for this market, we are actively developing the next generation of these unique products, including tailormade solutions with functionalities engineered to boost the performance, efficiency and sustainability of recycled plastics or retain virgin-like properties. By enhancing color, reducing odor, improving melt flow and minimizing gels, we can achieve consistent, high-quality outcomes together and accelerate the shift towards a more sustainable plastics value chain.”

Kisuma’s magnesium-based additives for recycled plastics are focused on aligning with the European Union’s ambitious directives for increasing the recycled content in many industries, such as packaging (PPWR), automotive (ELV), and building & construction.
