The use of TPE materials with recycled content increases the sustainability of vehicles. They are also used more and more in the interior.

The selection of high-quality recyclate enables their use in demanding automotive applications.

“Nothing Speaks against the Use of Recyclates for Demanding Components”

The quality of recyclates can be improved very well by means of suitable additives. An overview of the variety of products and their suppliers.

Vitamins for the Circular Economy

The quality of recyclates is seen as too low. Improvements are possible by using additives, as was shown by the exchanges during the Forum Plastic Recyclates.

Quite clearly, the central theme of this year’s conference  was additives for recycling materials.

Additives Are Decisive

Crosslinked plastics cannot be recycled mechanically in the conventional way. A consortium has now succeeded in chemically recycling PE-X.

Chemical recycling can also be used to reprocess plastic waste that is difficult to recycle, such as crosslinked polymers.

Crosslinked But Still Recycled

Metal-effect pigments make for attractive designs, but they cause problems with recycling. These can be resolved with a special silver pigment.

Plastic products with a metal-effect finish are attractive. However, the effect pigments make recycling difficult.

A Silver Lining for Recycling

In general, recycled chocolate molds of PC do not meet the food contact requirements. A new recycling strategy is to provide a remedy.

Polycarbonate is frequently used for molds in chocolate production.

The stabilization of used plastics is costly. Online measurement during compounding allows for stabilization directly in production.

Plastic waste often has a very different stabilizer content. This must be precisely determined in the recycling process. 

Determined Online, Recyclate Wins

TotalEnergies has joined Nextloopp, an initiative bringing together 47 companies from the plastics value chain that aims to create food-grade recycled polymer from advanced mechanical recycling.

Santa Barbara County’s Resource Center efficiently sorts both municipal solid waste and single stream using the same circuit with Tomra‘s Autosort units to successfully reduce landfilling.

The Santa Barbara County Resource Center converts commercial and residential waste into recyclables by recovering recyclable materials, converting organics into landscape nutrients, and generating renewable energy in the process.

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.
