Delta tecnic recycled masterbatch: Cable and Polyvinyl Chloride PVC Carbon Footprint Reduced by 30%

Plastmatch Global Digest 2026-05-21 11:53:58

Formulation developers dedicated to cable sheathing and flexible PVC applications can now evaluate Delta Tecnic’s new range of masterbatch products. This product line is designed to reduce the carbon footprint of cable compounds without compromising technical performance.

The company stated that its new series of recycled base granules can reduce the overall carbon footprint by 30%, and the carbon dioxide emission data for each ton of finished masterbatch has been certified.

Achieve emissions reduction based on life cycle analysis

The formulation optimization primarily focuses on two core directions.

Delta Tecnic pointed out that polymers are the main source of carbon emissions in formulations. Therefore, on the polymer side, companies are gradually replacing virgin raw materials with recycled polymers and bio-based alternative feedstocks. The company stated that such substitution solutions can maintain technical performance while promoting the transition of material models toward a circular economy.

On the pigments side, Delta Tecnic has opened up a new R&D direction focused on developing low-emission alternative pigments, including pigment products made from recycled materials and plant-based raw materials.

The company has developed a black polyethylene masterbatch that meets the technical requirements for cable inner sheaths based on this technical route. At the same time, several product lines have launched PVC masterbatch formulations containing recycled content.

The entire R&D approach is centered on life cycle assessment: Delta Tecnic stated that the company is conducting detailed environmental impact analyses for every raw material it uses, covering the full life cycle from the source of the raw material to its final use.

Manuel Miret, Area Manager and Head of New Product Development at Delta Tecnic, said: “The industry has already achieved certain emissions reductions through process monitoring and optimization, but to truly meet the 2030 emissions reduction targets, change must begin with raw materials. Emissions reduction is not simply about improving the efficiency of existing processes; it requires a new way of thinking: incorporating recycled materials, developing renewable feedstocks, and redesigning product components from the source to reduce environmental impact.”

The company's next research and development focus will be on natural and plant-based pigments, further achieving emissions reduction.
