GROVE Additives – New, customized, and bio-based stabilizers for recycled plastics and contact-sensitive applications

Recycling is key to a climate-friendly industry - but recycled plastics are not always competitive. In the “GROVE Additives” project, we are developing customized stabilizer additives that significantly enhance the performance of recycled materials as well as contact-sensitive applications such as medical devices.

Based on state-of-the-art material technologies, conventional components are combined with bio-based ones, enabling a new generation of sustainable plastic solutions. The new bio-based additives meet regulatory requirements and deliver top performance.

From research to your application

Are you looking for a way to stabilize recycled plastics and bioplastics to make them more durable and process-reliable - without having to make technical changes to your existing production processes?

GROVE stabilizers offer customized additive solutions with innovative, partly bio-based active ingredients that are specifically tailored to the damage mechanisms typical of each material. The products can be dosed to meet industrial standards, integrated directly into production, and their effectiveness has been proven through laboratory and field tests.
