REKRILL®: the Italian bio-based polymer for a new generation of products

A 100% bio-based, sustainable and circular polymer made from agri-food by-products, developed to provide companies with new design opportunities without compromising on aesthetics, performance or industrial compatibility.

Produced in Italy through a patented process, REKRILL® can be customised to meet specific application requirements and is compatible with the main manufacturing technologies.

Features

Application

A new sustainable raw material for industry

REKRILL® upcycles bio-based agri-food by-products, transforming them into a new material for industrial production.

The result is a sustainable and circular bio-based polymer developed without microplastics. Its natural, contemporary appearance helps give products, components and packaging a distinctive identity.

REKRILL® NUT

Made from hazelnut shells. Suitable for applications requiring rigidity and strong mechanical performance.

REKRILL® COFFEE

Made from coffee-processing by-products. Characterised by a warm colour and an authentic appearance.

REKRILL® BRAN

Made from bran. A balance of functional properties, versatility and natural aesthetics.

REKRILL® WINE

Made from by-products of the wine industry. A distinctive texture suitable for products with a strong aesthetic identity.

REKRILL® ORANGE

Made from citrus by-products. A distinctive material appearance combined with versatility across different applications.

Why choose REKRILL® bio-based polymer

A sustainable, practical solution designed to meet the needs of industry.

Bio-based origin and circular value

With REKRILL®, bio-based agri-food residues are given a new life and transformed into a valuable resource for industry.

The formulations are developed from bio-based raw materials, without the use of conventional plastics or microplastics.

The material’s properties can be tailored to its intended use. Depending on the formulation, REKRILL® can provide performance comparable to that of conventional polymers.

Colours, textures and finishes retain the identity of the original raw material, giving every product a unique and contemporary appearance.

REKRILL® is developed and produced in Italy using proprietary, patented technology.

REKRILL® is designed to integrate into existing industrial production processes.

The material is compatible with injection moulding, extrusion, 3D printing and rotational moulding.

Custom formulations for every project

Every product has its own specific requirements.

For this reason, REKRILL® is not a standard, fixed solution. Its formulations can be customised according to:

Mechanical properties

Rigidity or flexibility

Heat resistance

Processability

Manufacturing technology

Aesthetic appearance

Colour and material identity

Functional requirements

Application sector

Through the research and development activities carried out by Krill Lab, the material is studied, tested and adapted to meet each company’s technical and design requirements.

The aim is to identify a formulation that is compatible with the production process and delivers the required performance before manufacturing begins.
