Companies in every sector must do their part to help avoid the worsening climate crisis. With the end of life of its products in mind, Arkema has invested in recycling capabilities, and more specifically in mechanical recycling capabilities as being the most environmentally efficient process. Mechanical recycling decreases the climate change impact of its Rilsan Polyamide 11 by roughly 70% compared to non-recycled Rilsan Polyamide 11 (kg eq. CO2
/kg according
to ISO 14040 standard; 100% recycled vs. virgin material), which climate change impact is already more than 40% lower than a traditional petroleum based Polyamide 12.
Arkema has been working with partners to either recycle those polymers into close loops, to be used again by the same customer or industry, or in open loops, meaning by different customers or industries who wish to purchase post- consumer materials. ●
