Fortum Circo® recycled plastic compounds

Fortum Circo® compounds are made of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and supplemented with selected additives to improve the technical and environmental properties of the material. Compounds offer improved properties, such as higher stiffness, rigidity and impact strength, and are developed to meet also the technical, aesthetic and haptic requirements of demanding applications. Fortum Circo compounds are available in selected material series, but the material can also be customised to meet specific needs and requirements in terms of mechanical and environmental properties, processability, colour and other features.
