GRANIC®
Sustainable Mineral Masterbatch
GRANIC® stands as our high-performance sustainable mineral masterbatch line, elevating performance levels and reducing CO2 emissions by up to 50%*. Its premium pellets combine mineral concentrates like calcium carbonate (CaCO3), talc, or silica with high-quality carrier resins, including PE, PP, and recycled plastic resins such as CICLIC®. The addition of GRANIC® masterbatch can account for up to 70% of the final plastic content, resulting in a reduction in polymers’ content while improving the mechanical properties.

Our approach
We dare to explore new solutions
Partnership approach across the value chain. We are fostering long-term solutions.
Your success is our principle. We are not happy until you are.
Partnering across the value chain
The ever-evolving landscape of the global plastic industry is being shaped by rapid change, impacting consumer needs, sustainability requirements, and the continuing demand for traceability and supply along the value chain. Our partners, whether they’re brand owners or plastic processors, must embrace this evolution and seek a partner like GCR who understands the bigger picture and can tackle their business challenges.
Brand Owners
Brand owners in the food packaging, household, automotive, industrial, sports, furniture, and other markets require partners who understand their industry challengues. Partners must provide sustainable and high-performance solutions for their products, tackle supply chain challenges, and ensure full traceability of raw materials.
Plastic Processors
Plastic processors face the challenges of both brand owners and raw material suppliers. They need a partner who ensures a continuous supply and supports process efficiency to optimize output while maintaining consistent quality. They need a raw material supplier who understands and connects the dots between their needs and those of brand owners
Raw Material Suppliers
Raw material suppliers must comprehend industry challenges, consumer trends, and regulations to provide innovative and sustainable material solutions across the entire value chain.
