The long-standing dominance of synthetic polymers is gradually making room for next-generation solutions based on raw materials of biological origin and new formulations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;12px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]One example is <a href=\"https:\/\/magic-spa.com\/en\/spongel\/\"><strong>Spongel<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0the patented superabsorbent powder developed by Magic and certified OK Compost Industrial, with an absorbent capacity comparable to that of acrylic SAPs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;12px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]This is an innovation that starts with material composition and with the search for alternatives to conventional synthetic superabsorbent polymers.<\/p>\n<p>Environmental considerations also extend to production processes.\u00a0Magic has invested in a production line aligned with <strong><span style=\"color: #92b843;\">Industry 4.0 standards<\/span><\/strong>, capable of monitoring energy use and key process parameters in real time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;12px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The same approach also applies to end-of-life design, assessed according to material composition and intended application.<\/p>\n<p>Solutions such as <a href=\"https:\/\/magic-spa.com\/en\/airgel\/\"><strong>Airgel g-grade<\/strong><\/a>, an airlaid certified OK Compost Industrial, together with food pads such as <a href=\"https:\/\/magic-spa.com\/en\/products\/g-pad\/\"><strong>G-pad <\/strong><\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/magic-spa.com\/en\/products\/paperpad\/\"><strong>Paperpad<\/strong><\/a>, developed with different end-of-life characteristics, broaden the design options available for food packaging.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;12px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The future of absorbent materials will not be measured only in grams absorbed, but also in the characteristics of the raw materials, the production processes and the intended end-of-life routes of the finished products.<\/p>\n<p>For Magic, this means continuing to invest in research, process optimisation and collaboration across the supply chain.\u00a0It is work that moves forward through material development, data collection and the validation of solutions in their specific applications.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magic invested in a
