Borealis Launches Portfolio of Circular Polyolefins

The Danish company Plastix recycles old fishing nets and ropes. The granules produced are used by JSP International, among others, to manufacture expanded polypropylene (EPP).

11 % of the plastic waste in the sea comes from the maritime industry. For the recycling of old fishing nets and ropes, accurate sorting is very important

Higher mechanical properties with lower density make polypropylene an interesting alternative to polyethylene for a large number of applications. New catalysts and production processes offer a wider range of products. Monolayer films and recycling are under development. In the meantime, China consumes almost one-third of the PP produced worldwide.

The ReOil pilot plant at OMV AG in Schwechat, Austria, converts plastic wastes with poor recycling properties into cracker raw material, and hence into potential monomers

Until now, only metal has been used for the tailgates of VW cars. In its top of the line electric model, the ID.3, Volkswagen is now using a plastic-metal composite for the first time. One of the materials used for its production is a long glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene from Celanese. The material was required to not only satisfy the mechanical demands, but also enable an attractive appearance.

The ID.3 is Volkswagen’s first car with a tailgate made partly of plastic.

In recent years, society’s view of plastics has shifted. The actual material advantages have been overshadowed by the plastics waste debate. Uncommon times, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, remind society of the outstanding contribution of plastics materials. Polyethylene is particularly strong in medical and hygiene applications.

PE ensures cost and weight savings in medical technology. For containers, the material also facilitates sterilization

The goal of the European Union (EU) to recycle all plastic packaging in Europe in an economically viable manner by 2030 is exerting enormous pressure on the packaging industry. It is very common that packaging films are made of different materials, and this causes challenges since they are often not easy to recycle.

For these stand-up pouches, counter-printed stiff PE carrier films were laminated with sealing films with low temperature sealants

Can One Material Be Enough?

Batteries in electric vehicles must be specially protected to counter the risk of fires. Battery trays made from aluminum frequently offer insufficient protection.

To be suitable for the underbody protection of electric vehicles, a material must first pass a bollard test

Innovations with polypropylene are being driven partly by continually increasing performance requirements in traditional application sectors. At the same time, the material is also being confronted with completely new challenges by the expansion of traditional areas of use into new applications and the replacement of other materials.

Braskem America Receives ISCC Plus Certificate

Critical step in the transition to using both recycled and renewable PP feedstocks.

Critical step in the transition to using both recycled and renewable PP feedstocks: Braskem announced that Braskem America has received ISCC Plus certification for all five of its polypropylene manufacturing facilities in the United States.

Braskem announced that Braskem America has received International Sustainability & Carbon Plus (ISCC Plus) certification for all five of its polypropylene (PP) manufacturing facilities in the United States. Mark Nikolich, Chief Executive Officer of Braskem America, commented, „Achieving ISCC Plus certifications for Braskem U.S. production facilities reflects a major milestone around our continued progress in advancing our vision for a carbon-neutral circular economy. This certification is a critical step in Braskem‘s transition to increase the use of both recycled and renewable feedstocks and the production of more sustainable PP for our clients utilizing the mass balance chain of custody.“

ISCC is a globally leading certification system that provides transparency and traceability for sustainable feedstocks along the entire supply chain and is already well-recognized by many stakeholders in the plastics industry. For companies using the mass balance approach, ISCC PLUS certification verifies that the mass balance accounting follows predefined and transparent rules. ISCC Plus certification also provides traceability along the supply chain and verifies that all feedstocks meet environmental and social standards.

Certification of Braskem‘s U.S. manufacturing sites demonstrates the company‘s implementation of robust processes that verify mass balance accounting compliant with the ISCC Plus standard. Braskem America will now be able to accelerate the production and sale of certified circular and bio-attributed PP solutions to its clients.

Braskem America‘s U.S. production facilities awarded ISCC Plus certification include:

<ul><li>Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania</li><li>Kenova, West Virginia</li><li>LaPorte, Texas</li><li>Oyster Creek, Texas</li><li>Seadrift, Texas</li></ul>

Braskem first received ISCC Plus trading certification in 2021 which first allowed the company to sell its sustainable products to the market. Braskem has clearly stated targets for growing the company‘s recycled content product portfolio to sales of 300,000 t by 2025 and 1 million t by 2030. All initiatives are aligned with Braskem‘s feedstock diversification strategy and its macro goals of expanding the circular economy concept in the plastics chain and becoming a carbon-neutral company by 2050.
