AdvantaPure launches sustainable TPE tubing EcoFlex with more than 15% CO2 reduction
Hitma introduces this new sustainable tubing from AdvantaBio (a brand of supplier AdvantaPure). With this tubing, you can realise a CO2 reduction of approximately 15% compared to AdvantaFlex tubing. Compared to standard TPE tubing, which is produced using fossil fuels, the CO2 reduction is even approximately 23.5%.
EcoFlex is the newest translucent thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) single-use tubing from AdvantaPure, developed for sustainable (bio)pharmaceutical production processes. Because EcoFlex is a sealable and weldable product, it is suitable for a broad range of applications.
Sustainable solution with no changes to fit, function, and specifications
Based on the proven formula of AdvantaFlex TPE tubing, EcoFlex offers the same trusted performance and flexibility required for critical single-use processes.
During the EcoFlex production process, fossil oil is replaced with bio-based oil using the mass balance principle. At the same time, EcoFlex, like other AdvantaPure products, is produced using renewable energy. Because the mass balance process requires no changes in form, function, specifications, or production processes, the quality remains identical while the environmental impact is demonstrably lower.
An important step towards sustainability
In today's (bio)pharmaceutical and biotechnology markets, striking a balance between sustainability, safety, and flexibility is crucial. Single-use systems already consume less energy than traditional stainless steel systems because they eliminate repeated sterilization and cleaning. Yet, single-use systems score highly on material use. Because EcoFlex is a sustainable alternative without changes in form and function, reducing environmental impact and ensuring product integrity are able to go hand in hand. This makes EcoFlex a future-proof and more sustainable choice for single-use applications.
