prototypes that were created during the pilot phase of the project were highlighted. Jaguar Land Rover has developed a plastic
front-end carrier prototype for its first electric SUV, the I-Pace, out of Ultramid B3WG6 Ccycled Black 00564. “As part of our commitment to accelerate closed loop manufac- turing across our operations, we are always looking for advances in technology that will help to reduce waste,” says Craig Woodburn, Global Environmen- tal Compliance Manager. “The ability to convert consumer waste into safe, quality parts for
premium products through the ChemCycling process is an important step in advancing our ambition to deliver a zero-waste future.” Storopack has used Styropor P Ccycled to make insulation packaging for

temperature sensitive pharmaceutical products as well as boxes for transporting fresh fish and protective packaging for electronic devices. “We were particularly impressed by the fact that Styropor P Ccycled can be used in food packag- ing,” says Hermann Reichenecker, Chairman of the Management Board. “There are already various recycling options for Styropor, and ChemCycling helps raise the recycling share even further.” Schneider Electric manufactured a circuit
breaker from chemically recycled Ultramid. “We actively assess the ability of secondary raw materi- als, such as recycled plastics, to meet our demand- ing quality standards, and stringent industry
regulations and norms,” says Xavier Houot, Senior Vice President Group Environment, Safety, Real Estate. “We are hopeful this experimentation with BASF will open room for more circular innovations in Energy Management and Distribution.” Südpack produced a PA film and a PE film that
were processed into specially sealed flexible packaging for mozzarella. BASF adds that the pilot projects with customers
from various industries show that products made with chemically recycled raw materials exhibit the same high quality and performance as products made from primary materials. “ChemCycling, which uses a mass balance approach to mathematically allocate a share of the recycled material to the final product, can help our customers to achieve their sustainability goals,” says Jürgen Becky, Senior Vice President Performance Materials. The certified products are indicated with the addition of Ccycled to their name. In order for ChemCycling to move from the pilot phase to market roll-out, BASF says that various technological, economic and regulatory issues will need to be resolved. The existing technologies for transforming waste plastics into recycled raw materials must be advanced and adapted for the use at industrial scale, in order to ensure the consistently high quality of the pyrolysis oil. BASF is currently investigating various options for supplying the company’s Production Verbund with commer- cial volumes of pyrolysis oil in the long term. Producers of engineering polymers are now joining commodity plastics producers in creating materials for injection moulders that include recyclate and have other environmental advantages.
