sustainable EcoFlex tubing from AdvantaBio (a brand of AdvantaPure). With this tubing, users achieve a CO2 reduction of approximately 15% compared to the AdvantaPure alternative, and a CO2 reduction of 23.5% compared to standard TPE tubing produced using fossil fuels. Thanks to the innovative mass-balance production method, the EcoFlex tubing remains unchanged in shape, function, and specifications.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sustainable solution without changes in form, function and specifications<\/span><\/strong><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Based on the proven formula of AdvantaFlex TPE tubing, EcoFlex offers the same trusted performance and flexibility required for critical single-use processes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">During the EcoFlex production process, fossil oil is replaced with bio-based oil using the mass balance principle. At the same time, EcoFlex, like other AdvantaPure products, is produced using renewable energy. Because the mass balance process requires no changes to form, function, specifications, or production processes, the quality remains the same while the environmental impact is demonstrably lower.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Important step towards sustainability<\/span><\/strong><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In today&#039;s (bio)pharmaceutical and biotechnological markets, finding the balance between sustainability, safety, and flexibility is crucial. Single-use systems already consume less energy than traditional stainless steel systems because they eliminate repeated sterilization and cleaning. Yet, single-use systems score highly on material use. Because EcoFlex is a sustainable alternative without changes to form and function, reducing environmental impact and ensuring product integrity go hand in hand. This makes EcoFlex a future-proof and more sustainable choice for single-use applications.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">About Hitma<\/span><\/strong><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hitma is a technical trading company.
