Polyplastics to Introduce Glass-Filled DURAFIDE PPS

Polyplastics Co., Ltd., a pioneer in engineering plastics, has made headlines with its ambitious plan to release a new grade of DURAFIDE (R) rG-PPS featuring 40% glass reinforcement by December 2025. This initiative is part of the company’s larger vision to improve the sustainability of engineering plastics through advanced recycling techniques.

A Step Forward in Recycling Technology

The new DURAFIDE PPS will utilize a groundbreaking post-industrial recycling (PIR) method. This entails the collection of glass-reinforced PPS scrap from client facilities, which will subsequently be transformed into the final product. Clients can expect benefits not only in the form of high-quality recycled materials but also a support system that reduces waste and lowers carbon footprints—critical goals in today’s eco-conscious landscape.

The initial phase of this project revolves around sourcing specific grades of DURAFIDE glass-reinforced PPS from their partners. Polyplastics will implement stringent acceptance standards to ensure quality, which includes thorough inspections to eliminate contaminants like metals. The firm will reformulate these recycled materials with a combination of virgin materials to meet stringent specifications similar to those used for brand-new products, thus ensuring high performance and reliability.

Collaborative Approach for Effective Waste Management

Polyplastics aims to foster collaboration within the industry by engaging with partners in both the recycling and waste treatment sectors. With the PIR initiative, customers can actively contribute to reducing waste and benefiting from sustainable practices without compromising the quality of products. The company envisions a
