At Sinclair & Rush, we have been committed to innovation and sustainability since 1950. Our latest offering, bio-based PVC Caps, Sleeves, and Grips, provides high-performance solutions for a variety of industries while actively reducing environmental impact.
What Are Bioplastics?
Bioplastics are materials derived from renewable biological sources such as plants, agricultural by-products, and organic waste. Unlike traditional plastics, which rely on fossil fuels, bioplastics use resources like lignocellulosic feedstock or organic waste, reducing dependency on non-renewable materials.
Not only are bioplastics more sustainable, but they can also be designed to match or exceed the performance of conventional plastics. They are increasingly used in industries seeking environmentally friendly alternatives without compromising on quality or durability.
Flexible Bio-Based PVC Components for Modern Industries
Our bio-based PVC Caps, Sleeves, and Grips are crafted using bioplastics to deliver sustainable, high-performance solutions for industries such as automotive, aerospace, pharmaceutical, and hydraulics. These versatile components serve as protective coverings, masking solutions, or packaging aids, combining functionality with eco-conscious design.
