Right: Nupi’s Niron Beta PP-RCT pipe will be made using Borenew- able materials from Borealis
materials in pipe production – and makes it the first Italian pipe supplier to use the material. “By using Bornewa- bles PP for our new pipes, we are reducing the carbon footprint of our products – and staying ahead of more stringent regulations by which the use of renewable feed- stock may soon become mandatory for plastic pipes,” said Roberta Brusi, quality director at Nupi. The accreditation is based on a mass balance accounting process that allows Borealis and Nupi to prove and quantify the renewable content at each manufacturing step. John Webster, global commercial director for
infrastructure at Borealis, added: “The use of certified renewable polymers is an instrumental lever to accelerate the transition from a linear to a circular plastics economy.” Borealis has also supplied its Bornewables
polypropylene to Rehau, which uses the material to make furniture edgebands.

PP is commonly used to make edgebands due to its chemical and heat resistance, and its wide range of pro- cessing opportunities. As drop-in replacement for standard PP, the Bornewables material is also suitable for use on standard edgebanders and contour processing
machinery due to its colour-stable chemistry and flexibility. “We appreciate how important it is for the
furniture industry to have a range of renewable- based and recycled material solutions in order to lower their own carbon footprint,” said Webster.
Stiffness increase Researches in France and Lebanon have shown how inorganic fillers can further enhance the stiffness of PP block copolymers for gravity sewage pipe applications. “Incorporation of inorganic particle fillers is an effective way to improve mechanical properties of
