Polytan and Green Technology go hand in hand. Our eco-friendly label represents all our sustainable activities and products that embody this ethos have the abbreviation GT in their name. At Polytan, we take many approaches on our quest for a greener planet. Initially, for example, we focused on products made from plastics with a high proportion of renewable raw materials, but are increasingly shifting to the use of recyclates as they gain prominence.
