Sustainable product range: low carbon footprint, recycled content, renewable source-based and energy- and material-efficient systems
Systems Made with Recycled Content

We develop systems that reduce environmental impact by integrating recycled content into our production processes. In line with our sustainable manufacturing approach, we incorporate raw materials recovered from end-of-life or waste materials into our formulations. This helps reduce raw material consumption and minimize the environmental effects of waste. These systems not only support ecological responsibility but also deliver mechanical and technical performance that is equivalent to or even superior to conventional systems.

Kimpur R&D Footwear Team has successfully developed a slipper production system utilizing polyester polyol derived from recycled PET bottle waste. This PET-based polyol system maintains its physical and mechanical properties without compromising on quality or performance when compared to standard systems.

PET-based polyurethane slipper system: recycled PET flakes and a slipper sole

Approximately 20% of the polyester polyol we produce comes from recycled PET waste, while 17% is derived from bio-based raw materials. Through this environmentally friendly approach, we not only contribute to reducing plastic waste but also support a more sustainable product lifecycle. In doing so, we reduce the environmental impact of our own production processes and help our customers develop final products aligned with environmental responsibility.

In the automotive industry, where energy efficiency is a priority, lightweight vehicle design is gaining increasing importance. The use of composite parts in next-generation vehicles helps reduce overall weight, resulting in lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions. With its lightweight properties, polyurethane contributes to energy efficiency and supports sustainability goals by reducing vehicle weight.

In recent years, graphene, often referred to as a “miracle material,” has taken the advantages of polyurethane foam even further.

Our R&D Flex Team has developed two systems using graphene obtained from recycled automotive tire waste:

KIMflex® Sound Insulation System – Used for acoustic insulation in the automotive industry.

KIMflex® HR Foam Systems – Used in the production of automotive and office seating.

Graphene-Based HR Foam Systems

HR foam systems developed with graphene derived from automotive tire waste offer significant improvements in mechanical properties. These systems provide the following advantages:

• Optimization of material consumption
• Reduction of carbon dioxide emissions during the production process
• Elimination of the need for additional materials

Proven through testing, these systems meet high performance expectations while supporting a sustainable approach. Test results are presented in Table 2.

Graphene-Based Sound Insulation System

Graphene-based polyurethane foams offer superior sound insulation performance without increasing the overall weight of the vehicle, thanks to their lightweight structure. Test results have shown that these systems provide up to a 65% improvement in sound absorption compared to standard systems.

Systems Made from Renewable Resources

In line with our sustainable production approach, we are shifting toward renewable resource-based ingredients as alternatives to fossil-based raw materials. This strategy not only helps reduce environmental impact but also supports our goal of developing high-performance systems.

Accordingly, we integrate bio-based raw materials into our formulations to offer solutions with a reduced environmental footprint. By 2030, we aim to increase the share of bio-based systems to 25% across our entire product portfolio.

Developed by the Kimpur R&D Rigid Team for sandwich panel applications, GREEN PIR (KIMrigid PIR 210) is a next-generation insulation solution that meets key sustainability criteria.

With a formulation containing 30% bio-based polyol, GREEN PIR promotes the use of renewable resources while offering a halogen-free structure that is safe for human health and environmentally friendly. Additionally, it is formulated with new-generation, environmentally benign blowing agents. The system delivers technical and mechanical performance that is equal to or even superior to conventional systems.

As the importance of insulation systems that reduce the environmental impact of buildings continues to grow, GREEN PIR stands out by meeting high performance expectations while embodying our commitment to sustainable production.

Low Carbon Footprint Systems

Reducing carbon footprint is one of the most effective steps in the fight against climate change. At Kimpur, we focus on developing systems that enhance energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact throughout our product development processes.

Our high-performance insulation systems not only reduce energy consumption over the product’s lifetime but also contribute to sustainability with lower emission values during both production and usage. Developed by the Kimpur R&D Rigid Team, our new-generation systems are compatible with environmentally friendly blowing agents and are designed to deliver low carbon emissions.

Below are the low-emission systems developed by our Kimpur R&D Rigid Team.

KIMcool® RD 064H is designed to be compatible with new-generation blowing agents. Thanks to its energy-efficient insulation technology, it provides up to 15% energy savings compared to conventional systems.

With its high insulation performance, this system helps reduce energy consumption. According to calculations, a single refrigerator using this system can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 77 kg per year—equivalent to the emissions produced by a diesel vehicle driving approximately 370 kilometers.

KIMspray® RS 050 and 058H systems are developed to be compatible with new-generation blowing agents. Formulated to deliver high insulation performance in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, these systems aim to enhance energy efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.

New-generation blowing agents have a significantly lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to conventional ones. As a result, KIMspray® systems help reduce environmental impact without compromising on insulation performance.
