Intertek launches Polymer Science solutions 9 Oct 2025
Geleen, Netherlands: Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, is pleased to announce the launch of its innovative Polymer Science solutions, a global suite of services designed to help businesses bring safe, high quality, and sustainable polymer innovations to market with greater speed and confidence.
Intertek’s Polymer Science solutions offer a unique, flexible outsourcing partnership, leveraging a global network of engineers, chemists and regulatory experts across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. With over four decades of expertise, our scientists bring deep insight into industry trends and challenges, enabling tailored solutions for diverse supply chain needs across both virgin and recycled materials.
With Polymer Science solutions, polymer innovators can streamline development through outsourced lab-scale compounding, and processing, advisory and testing expertise. Safety assessments, regulatory support, supply chain management, process optimisation, materials testing and sustainability services help manufacturers gain efficiency, compliance, and resilience.
In addition, our global Polymer Science teams support the safe use of polymer materials and ensure compliance with international regulations across multiple industries. Tailored application programmes include OEM-approved testing for automotive components and polymer global notification, testing and compliance for packaging, home and personal care, medical devices and toys.
For recyclers and users of recycled materials, the programme provides one-source support for both mechanical recycling (environmental impact, NIAS testing, regulatory assurance, biodegradation, wastewater monitoring and recycled content verification) and chemical recycling (syngas and chemical analysis, process monitoring) to ensure compliance, efficiency, and quality of the recycled outputs.
Polymers are vital to modern life, driving progress in packaging, healthcare, transport, and renewable energy. As demand grows, the industry faces rising regulatory demands, increasing costs, sustainability challenges, resource pressures and complex supply chains. Intertek Polymer Science helps manufacturers address these challenges, foster continuous innovation and accelerate time to market.
"Our Polymer Science solutions are designed to empower our clients to innovate, solve problems, and reduce time to market,” says Chantal Haarmann, Business Unit Manager, Polymers at Intertek. “Polymer Science not only enhances the safety and performance of key application areas, such as food packaging or automotive, but also provides forward-looking, science-led support throughout the lifecycle of a polymer material or product.”
Ross McCluskey, EVP Europe, Middle East and Africa and Government and Trade Services at Intertek, adds:
"With over 40 years of experience, we understand the complexities of the polymer industry and have the expertise and global network to help polymer manufacturers around the world meet technical, regulatory, supply chain, and sustainability needs.”
