Büfa brings sustainable resins portfolio to composites customers

Büfa Composite Systems (Rastede, Germany), a distributor and manufacturer of polyester resin specialties, announces the launch of its comprehensive sustainable product range and the sustainability label Büfa-future. With more than a century of experience in the chemical industry, the company has been focused on composites sustainability in an effort to make a positive impact on the environment while meeting the needs of the market.

To make it easier for polyester resin users to identify and select sustainable products, Büfa Composite Systems has developed the Büfa-future label. This label identifies a carefully selected range of products that meet high standards for environmental protection. The range includes styrene-reduced and styrene-free products, bio-based raw materials, products with recycled raw materials, as well as solutions for fire retardant and conductive applications.

The label introduces an internal ecological seal of approval that characterizes sustainable products in the composites sector, Büfa notes. These products are said to contribute to the reduction of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and are based on raw materials from biological sources or recycled waste streams. 

Büfa Composite Systems supplies many sustainable industries, including composite component manufacturers for local and long-distance public transport and wind energy. The products enable fiber-reinforced composite manufacturers to design and produce sustainable composite components that significantly reduce their environmental footprint.

“Our clear direction for the future: a sustainable Büfa UP-resin specialties portfolio, sold via Büfa’s own distributors and sales partners,” emphasises Lothar Kempf, managing director of Büfa Composite Systems. “We believe that sustainability and success go hand in hand.”
