Boosting the performance of recycled plastics is now possible with ADK Cycloaid UPR Series by ADEKA. In response to increasing regulations and targets aimed at reducing the environmental impact of plastics, ADEKA offers the innovative ADK Cycloaid UPR series of additive solutions. “These solutions are designed to enhance the performance of recycled plastics, specifically those derived from household waste and single-use plastics (SUP)”, says Marie-Raphaël MORVILLIER, Technical Director.   As market demands shift towards integrating more recycled resins into products, mechanical recycling has become a prominent method for recovering plastic materials from industrial and post-consumer sources. However, using post-consumer recyclates (PCR) presents unique challenges due to contamination and degradation during their previous life.   With the ADK Cycloaid UPR series, these challenges can be efficiently addressed. By improving mechanical properties, thermal and UV light stability, this additive solution enhances the quality and viability of PCR.   Join us in advancing sustainable recycling practices with the cutting-edge ADK Cycloaid UPR series by ADEKA.   #research #sustainable #chemicalindustry #circulareconomy

Recent improvements in waste streams and better recycling solutions are helping transform plastic waste into valuable reusable plastic. We must keep working hard to reduce our reliance on our planet’s natural resources. By turning the plastics value chain into a ‘value cycle’ and transforming the plastics industry into an actual circular economy, the requirement to produce new virgin plastics will reduce the demand for Mother Earth’s natural resources.

#DissolutionRecycling removes brominated Flame Retardants from Thermoplastic Wastes   …from WEEE, ELV and CDW, so that polymers can be REUSED for the same or similar applications.   #DissolutionRecycling (synonym: #SolventbasedPurification) is a physical process (technique) and belongs (like #MechanicalRecycling) to the class #PhysicalRecycling (synonym: #MaterialRecycling) because the composition of the #EngineeringMaterial (polymer) remains intact and is not broken down into #RawMaterials (synonym: #Feedstock) like it is the case for #ChemicalRecycling techniques (e.g. solvolysis, pyrolysis, gasification).   PS Loop B.V. in Terneuzen/NL recycles EPS insulation materials with the flame retardant HBCD since June 2023.  https://www.psloop.eu/   PSLoop is owned by the GEC Group ( Brohlburg Dammstoff UND Recyclingwerke GmbH, Karl Bachl GmbH & Co KG, RYGOL DÄMMSTOFFE Werner Rygol GmbH & Co. KG) and is supported by partners from the EPS value chain (e.g. ICL Group, BASF, Sunpor Kunststoff Gmbh, Synthos, BEWI Group, HIRSCH Porozell Austria, LANXESS, Unipol Holland BV, etc.)   The CreaSolv® Process® is backed up by several eco-balances: https://lnkd.in/eKPVWvcS   Excluding #DissolutionRecycling from INDUSTRY STANDARDS like ISO 15270:2008 „Recovery and Recycling of Plastic Waste“ and EN 17615 „Plastics – Environmental Aspects – Vocabulary” actually prevents building a #CircularEconomy, in order to reduce CO2 emissions and expand the options for #DesignforRecycling.   #plasticwaste #recycling #plasticrecycling #EUgreenDeal

So much more than pipes, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is found in many common items, such as shower curtains, clear plastic wrap, and vinyl siding. At Cyclyx, our innovation and technology enables us to take this material from our suppliers and put it on a recycling pathway with our offtake partners and Consortium members. Through our Cyclyx solution, we collect/divert plastic from landfill, decode it to understand its chemical composition, transform/customize it to meet client specifications, and deliver it to the proper recycling outlet. If you're a company in need of a solution for post-use PVC, then message us or visit Cyclyx.com. #NationalRecyclingWeek

The upcoming Plastics Recycling World Expo this September will feature multiple panels discussing key issues for the sector. With EPR schemes proliferating, PPWR changing the way we produce, consume, and recycle packaging, and the proposed ELV regulation looking to expand the scope of recycling efforts, this is a challenging time for the plastics industry but one that offers new opportunities for sustainable growth. ➡️ The event will address the changing legislative landscape in a panel featuring EXPRA - Extended Producer Responsibility Alliance, EuRIC - The European Recycling Industries and more. ➡️ Expanding on the theme of PPWR, a second panel featuring Berry Global, Inc., Avery Dennison and Flexible Packaging Europe (FPE) will look at how legislation, social pressure and technology are changing the role of plastic packaging in Europe. ➡️ A third discussion between MUNICIPAL WASTE EUROPE, AMI and others will then examine the economic, logistical and technological requirements that are set to influence recycling rates over the coming decade.

Maybe with a complete, third-party audited traceability, we'll finally stop reading those BS assertions that PVC isn't recyclable 🙄 😉 #TakingVinylFurther #TakingSustainabilityFurther #JustTheFactsNoBull

The World Economic Forum asked end of December 2019: Why is black #plastic #packaging so hard to recycle? (https://lnkd.in/exDhMt48.) Read our latest article presenting UPM BioMotion #RFF as innovative and #sustainable solution addressing this challenge.
