The complexity of the structures makes it nearly impossible to recycle these films, leading to the growing amount of multi-layer packaging waste.

Growing consumer demand and legislative requirements drives innovation in recycled plastics.

Future Materials is a national test and development center for materials.

Norner is one of the owners of Future Materials Norwegian Catapult Centre together with Elkem, ReSiTec and UiA (MIL).

LYCRO has an ambition to significantly improve the sustainability for their returnable crates business and created the RE-CReATE project.

For the 5th year in a row Norner arranged (our) Beach Cleaning Campaign. Previous years we have managed to remove about half a ton of litter during an evenings effort in the spring with our employees, local customers and business partners. This year we wanted to achieve more and at the same time do it safe where necessary Covid-19 measures were taken.

Sustainability has always been a key aspect of packaging, but the importance has never been higher. Our barrier online calculator can be a very useful tool in development and implementation of more sustainable solutions.

Food and food safety are high on the agenda, and for food packaging more knowledge about migrating chemical substances, both intentionally added (IAS) and non-intentionally added (NIAS) is needed.

Norner has developed and offer a novel own technology for modification of the injection moulding process to create an easy slip surface of plastics articles and packaging.

Norner and HTExplore join forces to bridge the gap between catalyst High Throughput Screening (HTS) and application development of polymers.

Norner has developed a novel multimodal polymerisation technology which enable metallocene catalysts reaching high yields while producing LLDPE and HDPE with improved processing performance.

Norner protective coating laboratory is a technical leader in quality management and competence. Our laboratory is accredited in accordance with ISO 17025.

Norner has historically worked with several companies in the healthcare industry.

Aristeia AS has developed a tourniquet for pre-hospital use, especially targeting the military market and ambulance services, but also meant for other market segments.

ShieldMe has developed a device for patient monitoring in nursing homes and health care institutions. The solution will give healthcare professionals increased insight into what happens to patients when they themselves are not physically present and enable faster reaction to critical incidents.

The NextGen TPO - project will develop sustainable, safe and intelligent polymer membrane solutions, fit for the current and future needs of the construction industry.

We evaluated the recycled materials in various end applications. One important segment is caps for household chemicals, cosmetics and personal care containers.

Removing hazardous substances, valorizing side streams and applying ecodesign principles on material design to improve the sustainability and recycling rates of WEEE, ELV and C&DW waste plastics.

Norner has an ongoing Joint Industry Program (JIP) that covers service life prediction of elastomers in oil and gas sealing applications.

Sustainable packaging with focus on recyclability is currently a highly relevant topic, both in Europe and globally.
