The HolyGrail 2.0 Initiative aims to improve the sorting of plastic waste. But the method also has certain drawbacks. Here, luminescent pigments provide an alternative.

Marker masterbatches enable different information to be embedded in plastics. This can be used to improve the recycling circle.

Additives manufacturer Milliken has developed viscosity modifiers specifically for recycled polypropylene (rPP). The products, called DeltaFlow, improve the flow behavior of rPP for extrusion and injection molding processes, according to the company.

The modifiers allow recycled PP to be processed at lower temperatures. Among other things, this reduces cycle times during injection molding.

Improved Processing of Recycled PP

The plastics industry has a variety of materials and technologies available for significantly reducing the ecological footprint of products. There are very few applications for which it is not possible to replace at least a portion of the fossil material with recyclates or bioplastics. Various methods, standards and software tools are available to determine what savings this can achieve.

Reducing the CO2 Footprint

The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) published a report that analyzes scientific data on the environmental impacts of plastics and finds plastics to be more sustainable than alternative materials when life cycle assessments are taken into consideration.

Plastics Have Smaller Environmental Impact than Alternatives

Statutory recyclate quotas and the specifications of brand-name producers are weighing heavily on the packaging branch these days and turning recyclate availability into a hot issue. Some polymers are simply not available in sufficient amounts. Experts at the 31st Dresden Packaging Conference provided insights into the current situations and explained why the situation could worsen in the future.

Recyclates of many polymer types are hard to get right now.

Hard-to-Find Recylates

Electrical and electronics manufacturers want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their products and optimize waste management and recycling for them. This can be achieved, among other ways, by using more sustainable thermoplastics and quality-assured recyclates. A close cooperation between companies to establish material cycles and the recycling-friendly design of equipment are also important.

Further Companies of the Feddersen Group Certified

In November 2021, four members of the Feddersen Group announced certification with ISCC Plus. With K.D. Feddersen Holding, now further companies of the group followed.

In November 2021, four members of the Feddersen Group, Akro-Plastic GmbH and its branches AF-Color and Bio-Fed, as well as PolyComp, announced certification with ISCC Plus. With K.D. Feddersen Holding, now further companies of the group followed.

The certification of K.D. Feddersen Holding GmbH also includes K.D. Feddersen GmbH & Co. KG, K.D. Feddersen GmbH & Co. KG, Succursale France, K.D. Feddersen CEE GmbH, K.D. Feddersen UK Ltd. and K.D. Feddersen Norden AB. In addition, K.D. Feddersen Ueberseegesellschaft mbH has also been co-certified with numerous other non-European companies in the group.

ISCC Plus is a sustainability certification system for bio-based and recycled materials in the chemical industry (e.g., based on sugar cane, vegetable oil and fat waste or recyclate). The certification ensures the traceability of the sustainable material flow along the entire supply chain. Since the value creation process of products in the chemical industry is often very complex, the mass balance approach is used for this purpose.
