Meet the Lego brick thermoplastic: #rABS (recycled acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). With a glossy, easily paintable surface, ABS provides an aesthetic appearance and adjustable strength, stiffness and toughness for a wide range of applications. #Recycled ABS can be used in the #automotive, vacuum, building, prototyping and #electronics industries to mold housings, pipes and insulation components. In addition, recycled ABS is playing an increasingly important role in #3D printing due to its low melting temperature, good mechanical properties and low density. Both virgin and recycled ABS (rABS) have low density and thermal conductivity. ABS has a density between 1.02 and 1.06 g/cm³, depending on the proportion of the individual components, and good chemical and abrasion resistance. The material's properties, especially impact resistance, toughness and stiffness, are also determined by its composition. During compounding, toughness can be significantly improved with modifiers such as thermoplastic elastomers. Visit our website to join or source from the more than 3000 companies in the Cirplus database that supply circular plastics.

India has set ambitions goals to tackle its massive #plasticwaste problem. It set #recycling rate targets of 30-50 percent for various plastic packaging by 2025, along with recycled plastic content requirements of 5-30 percent. The recycling rate targets will rise further to 80 percent by 2028. This can't be done without digital solutions. So, our CEO Christian Schiller was invited to speak at the GCPRS - Global Conclave on Plastics Recycling and Sustainability in New Delhi organized by AIPMA INDIA and CPMA - Chemicals and Petrochemicals Manufacturers Association. With 50,000 visitors, this conference is actually one the largest global gatherings dedicated to the recycling of plastics. Christian talked about "The Role of #Digitalization and AI in Closing the Loop for Plastics" and how artificial intelligence is an essential part in achieving recycling targets and ultimately a true circular economy. Much gratitude to AIPMA and Ramesh Parasuraman (Allied Solutions (India) Pvt. Ltd.) for inviting us. Let's collaborate and drive the plastic revolution across the globe.

Next on our #FridayInsights list is recycled linear low-density polyethylene (#rLLDPE), a material that is valued for its versatility and is used in a wide range of applications. This is mainly due to its properties such as high tensile strength, flexibility and impact resistance. These benefits make rLLDPE particularly suitable for the #packaging, #agricultural and #construction industries and can be used for - stretch films - plastic bags - industrial stretch hoods - construction materials rLLDPE is not limited to industrial use. It can also be used for consumer goods (e.g., toys and detergent containers) and food-grade applications (e.g., flexible bottles and food containers). At Cirplus, rLLDPE is available in high quality regrind and regranulate in a variety of colors ranging from transparent to black. We work with a limited, quality-controlled set of recycled LLDPE suppliers that stand for certified, standardized PCR & PIR recyclates according to our initiated DIN SPEC 91446/EN18065.

🚀 Einsatz von KI im Recycling: Die Zukunft der Kreislaufwirtschaft 🚀 In einem kürzlich geführten Podcast der Mehrweg Heroes betonte Christian Schiller, wie entscheidend Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) für das Schließen von Kunststoffkreisläufen weltweit ist: “Nur mit KI werden wir es schaffen, Kunststoffkreisläufe weltweit zu schließen. Aber wir stehen noch am Anfang der Digitalisierung und müssen erst die Grundlage schaffen, bevor wir fortgeschrittene KI-Anwendungen einsetzen können.” - Christian Schiller Diese Aussage unterstreicht die enormen Chancen und Herausforderungen, die vor uns liegen. Der Einsatz von KI im Recycling könnte die Effizienz und Präzision unserer Recyclingprozesse revolutionieren und somit einen großen Beitrag zur Nachhaltigkeit leisten. 🌍♻️ Doch bevor wir die volle Leistungsfähigkeit von KI nutzen können, müssen wir die Basis schaffen. Dies bedeutet, dass Unternehmen und Organisationen ihre Digitalisierung vorantreiben und robuste Dateninfrastrukturen aufbauen müssen. Es ist ein Schritt-für-Schritt-Prozess, der viel Engagement und Innovation erfordert. Wir stehen an der Schwelle zu einer neuen Ära im Recycling, und die Technologie wird uns dabei helfen, nachhaltigere und effizientere Systeme zu entwickeln. Lassen Sie uns gemeinsam daran arbeiten, die Digitalisierung voranzutreiben und die Potenziale der KI zu nutzen, um unsere Umwelt zu schützen. #Recycling #KI #KünstlicheIntelligenz #Nachhaltigkeit #Kreislaufwirtschaft #Digitalisierung #Innovation #MehrwegHeroes #ChristianSchiller

In this week's #FridaysInsights, we will focus on #rLDPE (recycled low-density polyethylene), which offers many benefits including high impact and moisture resistance, high elasticity and availability in a highly translucent form. This results from #LDPE's branched molecular structure and weaker intermolecular forces. The typical density range for virgin and recycled LDPE is 0.92 - 0.93 g/cm3. LDPE is one of the most widely used #plastics in the world. When using the recycled version, there is no need to make any compromises, as rLDPE is available in both food-grade and non-food-grade. Examples of #foodgrade applications include flexible bottles, lids and milk cartons, while #nonfoodgrade applications range from new plastic bags, hoses and cables, floor tiles, vehicle parts, toys, detergent containers, shipping bags, garbage and compost bins, as well as films and foils.

Nächster Halt: Ressortabstimmung und Verbesserung und dann hoffentlich finale Verabschiedung.

Der Entwurf der Nationalen Kreislaufwirtschaftsstrategie (NKWS) ist ein guter Aufschlag geworden. Wir haben die Gelegenheit genutzt und für Cirplus unsere Stellungnahme eingereicht. Hier die wichtigsten Punkte: 🖥 Wir begrüßen außerordentlich, welche herausgehobene Rolle die #Digitalisierung als prioritäres Handlungsfeld einnimmt (Kapitel 2.2). Die intransparente Datenlage ist eines der Kernprobleme, die es zu beheben gilt für das Schließen von Kreisläufen. Gut, dass die Bundesregierung hier den Unternehmen bei der digitalen Transformation unter die Arme greifen will. ♻ Wir brauchen kein "Level-Playing-Field", sondern ein "#Unlevel-Playing-Field" zugunsten nachhaltiger Kunststoffe. Die absolute Senkung des Kunststoffverbrauchs sollte hierzu expliziten Eingang in das Kapitel über Kunststoffe (Kapitel 4.10.) finden. Maßnahmen wie zB eine klug ausgestaltete #Kunststoffsteuer auf Neuware (ohne dabei nachteilige Ausweicheffekte zu anderen Materialien zu triggern), ein Einspeisevorrang oder eine Einspeisevergütung für Rezyklate oder zumindest mal die Abschaffung umweltschädlicher Subventionen auf Neuware sollte die BuReg ernsthaft prüfen und umsetzen. ⚗ Das chemische Recycling sollte - wenn überhaupt - als nachrangige (=#subsidiäre) Technologie für das Schließen des Kreislaufes verankert werden. Es wird sich in seinen gesamten Umweltauswirkungen (nicht nur im CO2-Ausstoß) messen lassen mit einer fortschrittlichen Form der Verbrennung. Es gilt: Keine "Zirkularität um jeden Preis". Die Einstufung als "Ergänzung/Komplementarität" des CRec öffnet hingegen einer massiven Fehlsteuerung von Ressourcen und Marktanreizen Tür und Tor. 💡 Wo wir schon dabei sind: #Massenbilanzierung - wenn überhaupt - nur in "polymer only" oder "proportional allocation". Der Ansatz des "fuel exempt" bereitet Greenwashing den Boden und ist letztlich ein Rechenspielertrick. 👩🎓 Wirkliche #Technologieoffenheit bedeutet, dass nicht nur über mechanisches vs. chemisches Recycling gesprochen wird, sondern eben über alle Technologien, die auf das Erreichen der Strategischen Leitziele (v.a. Senkung des Verbrauchs und Schließen von Kreisläufen) einzahlen. (Und diejenigen, die dies vom Staat einfordern, sollten erstmal vor der eigenen Haustür kehren). Wenn im Übrigen selbst Dr. Martin Brudermüller (Ex-CEO BASF) seinen Namen als Herausgeber unter die bis dato beste Studie der acatech – Deutsche Akademie der Technikwissenschaften zu den künftigen Technologieszenarien setzt - und dort das fortschrittliche MRec das CRec Recycling um den Faktor 10 schlägt in Sachen Klimaschutzpotenzial, dann besteht noch Hoffnung, dass sich letztlich auch die Chemieindustrie am Ende einer vernunftgeleiteten Transformation hin zu umfassend nachhaltigen Zirkularitätsdienstleistern von Kohlenstoffen nicht wird entziehen können, oder Markus Steilemann?
