PVC RECYCLING | MATERIALS


The material, called Biovyn, was developed by Ineos subsidiary Inovyn. The first project will renovate 19 houses to turn them into net-zero-energy social housing. It will be the first construction project in the world to use certified bio-attributed PVC window frames, according to the company. “Biovyn’s unique properties have spoken to yet another sector where more sustainable solutions are required to reduce CO2


emissions,” according


to Inna Jeschke, manager of the polymers division at Inovyn.


Biovyn has a carbon footprint that is 90% lower


than traditional PVC, says the company. Jelmer Bijlsma, manager for sustainability and


innovation at Kömmerling in the Netherlands, added: “This is a first in the industry and we consider it an important step in the development of sustainable building materials. This innovation already saves around 6,000 kilograms of CO2


first project.”


Teknor buys Nu-Pro Teknor Apex has acquired US-based recycled PVC compound producer Nu-Pro Polymers.


The company, based at Wheeling in Illinois,


converts post-industrial (PIR) waste to new com- pounds that are said to match prime performance. It specialises in clear, natural and black grades covering a range of durometers and containing up to 90% recycled content. Following the acquisition, Nu-Pro will continue


to make products for Teknor Apex under the Cycle-Tek brand name. “The acquisition of the Nu-Pro business is another step in ensuring vinyl continues to be a sustainable option in the plastics manufacturing market,” said Sunny Mahajan, senior technical manager at Teknor Apex.
