RydbarselCirculesFollow-up series: sustainable development in the future with circular economy

Recently, Global Circular economy supervision is accelerating. The new version of the European Union ELV stipulates that the plastic used for each new vehicle must contain at least 15% of reworking plastic from September 1, 2032, and increase to 25% in 2036; the regulation on packaging and packaging waste (PPWR), which came into effect in August this year, regards compulsory recycling ratio and recyclable classification as rigid clauses of packaging design, and matches strict supply chain traceability requirements; the recently implemented ecological environment code of the People's Republic of China also strongly supports producers of motor vehicles, electrical and electronic products to increase the proportion of recycled materials......

The difficulties faced by plastic product enterprises and brand manufacturers in selecting raw materials are much more complicated: the quality of recycled particles fluctuates greatly and the stability of batches is insufficient, which affects the yield rate of terminal products; The supply of recycled raw materials after consumption of high-quality PCR is unstable, it is difficult to match the demand of large-scale production; At the same time, there are still some problems such as the difficulty in the implementation of closed-loop recycling cases combining the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain......

Around these realistic difficult problem, LYB passedCirculateYizhi series provides multi-path recycling and low-carbon solutions.

•CirculateRecover (mechanical recovery) -- stable choice for high-proportion PCR

The product is made of plastic waste through mechanical recycling process, which can provide up to 100% single particle solution of recycled ingredients after consumption; It can also be mixed or modified with traditional fossil-based products, so as to achieve the best balance between high performance characteristics and mechanical recycled components and provide high-quality polymers. Relying on direct cooperation with waste categorizers at the head of the industry and professional processing processes, enterprises can obtain higher PCR material utilization rate at the same performance level. The products are widely used in various industries, home furnishing, consumer goods and packaging fields.

•CirculateRevive (chemical recovery)-a molecular-level solution to conquer "difficult-to-recycle" materials

LYB's proprietary MoReTec catalyst chemical recovery technology is adopted to convert mixed plastic waste that is difficult to be mechanically recycled back to the molecular level and used as raw materials in conventional production processes, and use the mass balance method of ISCC PLUS standard certification to produce brand-new polymers. This kind of polymer is very suitable for food packaging, medical and health packaging and other applications that need to meet strict regulatory requirements.

•CirculateRenew (bio-based raw materials)-replace fossil raw materials with waste resources

The second generation of raw materials such as waste edible oil and biomass residue are used to replace fossil raw materials. The product is produced by the mass balance method certified by ISCC PLUS. The carbon footprint of the product is significantly lower than that of traditional raw materials. It is also applicable to food packaging, high-demand scenarios such as medical treatment and high-quality film.

How can enterprises efficiently select Circulen-based material solutions for products in different application fields? On September 23, 14:00-15:00, Wang Chen, the business manager of LYB's sustainable development, and Xie Yu, the marketing manager of sustainable development strategy, will be invited to be a guest in Jung's online class, dismantling LYB's sustainable strategic goals andCirculateFollow the whole series of products and share the successful practice case of local implementation-practical and fruitful.
