At MTM, we’re proud to support our customers in exploring more environmentally sustainable materials—an area that’s becoming increasingly important across all industries. Many of our clients have sought innovative ways to reduce their environmental impact, and one growing area of interest is the use of alternative filler materials in moulding trials.
These eco-conscious fillers are often derived from by-products or waste from other industries, giving new life to materials that would otherwise go to landfill. Examples of these sustainable alternatives include:
Thanks to our hands-on experience with these products, we’ve developed a strong understanding of how to incorporate these materials effectively into the moulding processes—without compromising on performance or quality.
In the UK alone, we consume a staggering 95 million cups of coffee each day. Shockingly, around half of the resulting coffee grounds end up in landfill. Once there, they begin to break down and release methane—a potent greenhouse gas far more harmful than CO?. By repurposing coffee grounds as a filler material, not only are we reducing waste and emissions, but we’re also contributing to a circular economy that benefits both industry and the environment.
At MTM, we’re excited to be part of this shift toward sustainable manufacturing—and we’re ready to help more businesses explore what’s possible.
