-Microfilament textiles made from post-consumer recycled PET

With Evolon RE, Freudenberg Performance Materials (Freudenberg) is offering its customers a more sustainable version of its high-performance microfilament textiles. Evolon RE is manufactured from an average of 70% recycled polyester, which the company makes by recycling post-consumer PET bottles in-house. The material is available for various applications, including high-tech wiping and technical packaging, in weights currently ranging from 80g/sqm to 300g/sqm. It is claimed to offer the same quality as all other Evolon textiles. This applies to mechanical and textile properties as well as to filtration, cleaning and protection properties.

Freudenberg says that Evolon fabrics are very durable in most applications. The products are washable and re-usable and a very good substitute for disposable solutions. For example, high-tech Evolon cleaning cloths offer an unrivalled cleaning performance even after hundreds of washings. Technical packaging materials can be reused throughout the entire production program of a car model.

-Analysis Shows Enzyme-Based Plastics Recycling Is More Energy Efficient, Better for Environment

BOTTLE consortium effort develops model that finds sizeable energy and carbon-saving benefits for recycling PET, a common plastic used in bottles, clothing, carpet

Researchers in the BOTTLE Consortium, including from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the University of Portsmouth, have identified using enzymes as a more sustainable approach for recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a common plastic in single-use beverage bottles, clothing, and food packaging that are becoming increasingly relevant in addressing the environmental challenge of plastic pollution. An analysis shows enzyme-recycled PET has potential improvement over conventional, fossil-based methods of PET production across a broad spectrum of energy, carbon, and socioeconomic impacts. Petrochemicals Regenerated Nylon

The concept, if further developed and implemented at scale, could lead to new opportunities for PET recycling and create a mechanism for recycling textiles and other materials also made from PET that are traditionally not recycled today. PET ranks among the most abundantly produced synthetic polymers in the world, with 82 million metric tons produced annually; roughly 54% of PET is used in the manufacture of textiles for clothing and fibers for carpet.

“From all the plastics that were produced since the 1950s, less than 10% of it has ever been recycled,” said Avantika Singh, a chemical engineer at NREL and first author of a new paper outlining the path toward enzyme-based recycling. “Most waste plastics end up in landfills.”

-SK’s chemical arm renames, embraces plastic recycling

SK Global Chemical, the petrochemical arm of the South Korean conglomerate SK Innovation, has changed its name to SK Geo Centric as part of an effort to transform from “carbon to green.”  Petrochemicals Regenerated Nylon

The firm says it aims to become the “world’s largest urban oilfield company,” sourcing its raw materials from plastic waste rather than petroleum.

SK plans to spend about $4.2 billion on recycling projects by 2025, when it hopes to be recycling 900,000 metric tons (t) of postconsumer plastic annually. It hopes to process 2.5 million t by 2027.

“The plastic waste problem should turn into an opportunity,” SK Geo Centric CEO Na Kyung-soo says in the firm’s rebranding announcement.

SK intends to achieve its goals largely through partnerships with recycling companies, many of which it has already lined up.

In August, SK said it will build a polypropylene recycling plant in South Korea that uses PureCycle Technologies’ purification process.

-Indorama Ventures Mobility group announces price increase for 2021

Information related to latest development in manufacturing cost for industrial fibers and fabrics

After the unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the global economy has gradually recovered in 2021, but is still experiencing very volatile market conditions. The pandemic is unfortunately not yet fully controlled, global freight remains unreliable and expensive, cost for energy and global commodities is increasing, and the increasing focus on sustainability and environmental impact is driving compliance cost upward in most part of the world.

Like many companies, the Indorama Mobility Group, manufacturing industrial fibers, cords and fabrics, is confronted with such significant inflation since the beginning of the year. In particular, the inflation has been notable for the following cost items:

Utilities: gas price has tripled in the past few months in Europe (from a level of 15 EUR/MWh in Q4’20 to 45 EUR/MWh recently), while increasing by 50% in USA

CO2 emissions and compliance cost: prices for CO2 certificates in Europe have almost doubled, approaching 60 EUR/ton from 30 EUR/ton at the end of last year, while regulations continue to expand the need for CO2 compensation

Chemicals and additives (spinfinish, dip chemicals, coating & laminating chemicals): cost have increased by 5%  Petrochemicals Regenerated Nylon

Packaging: prices for standard packaging materials have increased by more than 30%

Logistic: despite our local manufacturing footprint which is not fully affected by global freight issues, the regional logistic costs are also increasing up to 20% (road transport)

Despite continuous efforts to optimize our cost structure, through extensive operational excellence initiatives, such cost inflations have now reached a level we can no longer offset and must pass on to the market, with a general price increase effective October 1st 2021.

-Chemical recycling of plastics by fluidized bed pyrolysis

The chemical recycling of different kinds of mixed, dirty, or filled plastic waste is carried out in a fluidized bed process.

The high heat transfer is one of the advantages for using a fluidized bed reaktor. The cracking process is fast and less side reactions happen. Olefins and oil are produced by pyrolysis of polyolefin.  Petrochemicals Regenerated Nylon

If the pyrolysis gas is cycled as fluidizing gas aromatics are formed. Up to 98 % of methylmethacrylate can be obtained by pyrolysis of poly(methylmethacrylate) and 77 % styrene from polystyrene.

The hydrolysis and pyrolysis of polyester produced terephthalic acid and only smal amounts of soot.

The pyrolysis of plastics in a fluidized bed has the potential for an up-scale to recycle great amouns of plastic waste.
