will highlight these strengths with exam- ples ranging from high-voltage PA compo- nents within EV charging infrastructure to miniature circuit breakers using a 100% recycled PA6 based on feedstock attrib- uted to pyrolysis oil from end-of-life tyres. The Recycle phase focuses on end-of-life.
“To achieve a circular economy, we need to get much better at the recycling of plastics to close the loop,” Jung says. He cites the company’s TrinamiX subsidiary, which is improving plastic sorting and identification using its mobile near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy solutions, while its IrgaCycle range of additives improve mechanical recycling. �

Benvic, which is well known for its PVC compounds, is using its third K showing to underline its expan- sion into production of technical PVC and polyole- fin compounds and ecological biopolymers. “Benvic has had a quantum shift in its DNA in the past few years…we are therefore looking forward immensely to sharing all our new materials and brands with our customers and friends old and new,” says Product Marketing Manager Eric Grange. The company’s PVC showing includes the
recently rebranded ProVinyl range, which targets applications in sectors as diverse as packaging,

building, electrical and medical. ProVinyl grades include rigid, plasticised and recycled compounds with a focus on custom-made formulations for sustainable use. Its second strand of materials is largely com-
prised of polyolefin-based polymer compounds developed for challenging applications. Marketed under the Xtended brand, the grades are grouped around PP compounded with specialty additives and fillers. They are primarily supplied from the Ferrara site in Italy that the company acquired from Celanese last year. The Ferrara site is also home to Benvic’s portfolio of TPEs. The company will also present its third strand of
recycled and bio-based compounds. Benvic’s French subsidiary Ereplast offers a number of solutions in recycled PVC. Meanwhile, the com- pany’s Plantura product lines include bio-based and/or compostable polymers. �
