About FKuR

FKuR Kunststoff GmbH (FKuR for short) is an internationally active development partner and material supplier for sustainable plastic solutions, headquartered in Willich. For over 30 years, the mid-sized company has been developing and producing biobased, biodegradable and recycled plastic compounds for packaging, agriculture and farming, cosmetics and consumer goods. The materials are designed for processing on existing production equipment and, depending on the material and application, can be processed without tooling modifications. FKuR supports plastics processors and brand owners in developing recyclable products through application-oriented material selection, material development and technical consulting. The focus is on reducing fossil raw materials, using recyclates and biobased raw materials, and advising on material-related requirements under the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). The portfolio is distributed worldwide via locations in Germany, the USA and India.
