LyondellBasell Reveals New Plastics Made From Recycled Marine Maritime Gear

LyondellBasell, a Dutch advanced recycler, has announced its participation in a value chain alliance with the goal of converting nautical scrap into new plastics. According to the company, this collaboration involves a German OEM and a specialist recycling company with competence in mechanically reusing plastic scrap.

Per LyondellBasell, the automobile sector has used recycled nautical plastic fibres for new car components. The material can now be used in injection moulding thanks to the development of the company’s CirculenRecover PP TRC 2179N.

Per the business, this development opens up new opportunities for the use of recovered plastics. End-of-life fishing nets are gathered and categorized by type as part of this collaboration and then processed to make top-notch plastic recyclate.

LyondellBasell combines a material with virgin compounds to create the CirculenRecover PPC TRC 2179N grade.

CirculenRecover PPC TRC 2179N injection-moulded components are trim pieces utilized in visible regions of the interior of numerous car models. Per the corporation, this advancement will be utilized for large-scale production.

The European Commission is now researching strategies to boost the circularity of cars in the context of the European Green Deal, one of which is the use of up to 25% post-consumer plastic waste. Maritime equipment will help OEMs achieve this goal.
