Derprosa bioBLUE is Taghleef Industries' version of laminating films that contribute to the use of plastic resins that come from second generation feedstock of vegetable sources such as waste cooking oil. These resins are made from vegetable oils for human consumption that have already been used and would otherwise become waste. In this way, not only do we give a new life to these oils and eliminate waste, but they also become part of a new type of product, replacing other raw materials of non-renewable fossil origin. With Derprosa bioBLUE laminating films you can contribute to a lower use of fossil resources and a reduction in carbon footprint.
Derprosa bioBLUE 30 allows the inclusion of vegetable-based raw materials in the manufacture of films for paper and cardboard lamination in graphic arts projects
For every kilogram of Derprosa bioBLUE 30 films marketed, we are contributing to not using 300 grams of fossil-based resins and replacing that amount with a bio alternative of the same quality but vegetable origin.
Currently, there are four Derprosa films offered in the bioBLUE 30 version.
70% traditional raw materials
30% resins of vegetable origin,
second generation feedstock
100% traditional raw materials
Same features
Same machinability
Same quality
Same yield
Same results
30% of the resins used to produce these films come from waste cooking oils (like the ones used by restaurants for frying chips)
Currently, two different origins for these vegetable oils can be distinguish from which resins of polypropylene, of the same quality as traditional fossil-based, can be obtained:
All Derprosa bioBLUE laminating films offer the same technical characteristics, performance, aesthetic and quality results as the equivalent versions made entirely from 100% traditional fossil-based materials; in other words, any Derprosa bioBLUE 30 film is essentially the same as its non-bioBLUE namesake, but contributes to far less CO2 emissions.
This involves the use of a percentage of resins of waste vegetable origin obtained from ISCC PLUS (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) certified industrial suppliers according to mass balance criteria. By means of chemical processes, waste vegetable oils are transformed into their original components to obtain polymers identical to those coming from fossil sources, which will finally be used to manufacture Derprosa bioBLUE films.
Similarly, the manufacturing process and traceability of Derprosa bioBLUE films is certified by ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) according to mass balance criteria. In this way, the entire process is guaranteed, from procuring the raw material to manufacturing of each individual roll, with the ability to certify the amount of raw material of Bio origin that has been contributed to its manufacture. Taghleef Industries SL is a ISCC PLUS certified company.
