Plastcom represents a number of the most recognized commodity producers in Europe. We have more than 30 years of experience as an advisor and total supplier of plastic raw materials, colours and additives to plastic manufacturers. We focus on meeting your specific needs with the most climate-friendly products.
The wide range of raw materials ensures that we can satisfy almost every need within basic materials and technical plastics, just as we are able to deliver in elastomers, recycle products and tailor-made masterbatch. In combination with our knowledge and our solid experience with plastic production, we provide value-adding total solutions that optimize your product quality, promote process speed and ensure you efficient and economical raw material procurement.
At Plastcom, we have always been focused on environmental awareness and climate-friendly solutions. That’s why we offer a wide range of recycle products that allows you to reduce your product’s carbon footprint and thus strengthen your company’s environmental profile and help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
On our sister-site www.plasticresale.com you can help to protect the environment by putting your excess plastic materials and additives up for sale or by finding excess materials, regrinded materials or discarded items. Read more here.

The group of Basic Plastics typically counts Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP) and Polystyrene (PS).
These 3 polymers account for about 50% of the world’s plastic consumption, and are used in everything from foils, packaging, furniture, toys, water bottles, beer boxes, medical devices, hoses, pipes, insulation etc.
In addition, the base polymers (especially PP) can be added to a wide range of additives to add special properties. It can be chalk, talc, glass, pigments etc.
The technical plastic types – also called structural plastics or Engineering plastics – are a group of plastic materials used for demanding tasks.
Here, higher demands are placed on properties such as impact strength, stiffness, chemical resistance, heat resistance, durability and fire retardant properties, etc.
Structural plastic thus possesses a better combination of physical, thermal and chemical properties than the so-called Basic Polymers typically exhibit.
UBQ is a biobased thermoplastic that is made from household waste. UBQ has a positive CO2 impact of minus 11,7 kg/kg, this can be comparted to PP that has a negative CO2 impact of 2,8 kg/kg.
In the world patented process, the organic waste is converted to its basic components like lignin, cellulose, sugar and fiber in powder form, the powder is then compressed to a granulated biobased thermoplastic.
>2 billion ton tons of Municipal Solid Waste are produced annually, UBQ takes this type of wasted and converts it to the most climate positive biobased thermoplastic in the world.
UBQ is used in a variety of applications such as automotive, food trays, pipes, pallets, furniture, coat-hanger, etc.
The material can be recycled repeatedly.
Thermoplastic elastomers are a very wide product group of soft materials. They are all characterized by high flexibility, but each has their own special strengths.
The elastomers often exhibit similar properties with rubber, but where, for example, TPE has the advantage that it can be processed by traditional thermoplastic processes.
Material properties such as compression, oil resistance, transparency, durability, heat resistance, soft touch are often taken into account by designers when choosing the right material category for e.g. building materials, automotive applications, sporting goods, electrical components and household goods, etc.
Recycled materials are typically divided into two segments; Post Consumer and Post Industrial.
In both cases, very well-defined compounds of high quality are developed. Post Industrial grades are of course of higher quality and a little more expensive, but the fact is that Post Consumer qualities often do the job.
As something completely new and unique, Plastcom also offers Bio-based Post Consumer materials – if reducing CO2 is a focus area.
Plastcom has focused on offering exciting sustainable alternatives to traditional plastic materials. Innovation is great in the market, but we have handpicked materials from the most exciting manufacturers and the latest patented technologies.
We have solutions that can really move on the understanding of sustainability.
Among the material solutions we offer are:
• Biodegradable PLA based compounds
• Wood fibre-based compounds – Bio-based PE and PP
• Rice shells – compounds
• Post-consumer recycled PE and PS
• CO2 neutralising bio-based compounds
At Plastcom, we have the necessary plastic technical insight to understand and fulfill your wishes and requirements for a very special plastic product or application.
We work with a large network of competent suppliers, each of whom can offer to develop customized compounds.
In close dialogue with you, and in collaboration with our manufacturers, we develop an optimal compound that will solve your task.
Get more information about the many properties we can put together and adjust.
Plastcom is a specialist in colours and additives. Our knowledge and experience is considerable, and in practice we provide solutions for virtually all tasks.
Whether it is opake or transparent colors for various polymers, or whether it is special effects such as marble, glow in the dark, fluorescence, mica, metal or the like – then we have the solution quickly and simply.
We typically distinguish between 4 subcategories when thinking about masterbatch.
Colors: Opaque or transparent colors for all polymers
Black: Highly-Concentrated Black Masterbatches
White: Highly-Concentrated White Masterbatches
Additives: Functional additives such as antioxidant, slip, antislip, UV, antistat, etc.
