Repol gets certification for recycled content for a polyamide grade
Repol S.L.U., the European composite manufacturing base of the UBE Group, has achieved a significant milestone by obtaining recycled content certification for its PA66 polyamide grade, A2X25 MI H-4109, under the Standard UNE-EN15343. This certification, issued by Aenor, marks a notable achievement as the first of its kind within the UBE Group. It underscores the commitment of Repol and UBE Corporation towards promoting plastics recycling and traceability across the value chain.
