Polyplastics Launches Innovative Mechanical Recycling PPS Grades

Polyplastics Co., headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, is excited to announce the upcoming launch of its new mechanical recycling PPS grades, named "1140A1R00" and "1140A1R30." These groundbreaking products are designed in line with the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The new grades are derived from the Open PIR Mechanical Recycling Scheme, utilizing recycled edge materials collected from customers.

What Makes the New PPS Grades Unique?

The introduction of these products represents a significant step forward in the realm of sustainable materials. The process involves several meticulous steps, ensuring that the quality of the new grades meets the high standards set by Polyplastics:

1. Raw Material Procurement: Edge materials that meet the company’s stringent criteria are collected from partner companies that manufacture glass fiber-reinforced PPS.
2. Product Transformation: Through a meticulous series of inspections, metal removal, and re-formulation processes, these materials are compounded under optimized conditions, guaranteeing quality comparable to virgin materials.
3. Sales Model: These new PPS grades will be marketed globally through the existing sales networks of Polyplastics, enhancing their reach and availability.

For those interested in a deeper understanding of these products and the recycling process, detailed illustrations are available on the company website.

Recycling Initiative and Future Prospects

The introduction of the new PPS grades is a part of Polyplastics’ broader initiative to address challenges associated with recycling through engineering plastic solutions. The company is actively advancing its re-compounding services and developing resins that incorporate PCR-derived recycled materials. By including these recycled materials in the production process, Polyplastics aims to reduce the usage of virgin materials while maintaining product quality and minimizing carbon footprint.

This initiative began in the fiscal year 2023, with ongoing collaboration from customers to ensure a stable collection of edge materials.

Enhancing Quality Control

To ensure the consistency of the product quality, Polyplastics is focusing on advanced metal removal technologies and optimizing crushing conditions, significantly reducing the incidence of metal contamination. Additionally, the exploration of partnerships with external companies for introducing new metal removal technologies is underway.

In summary, Polyplastics Co. continues to innovate in the field of sustainable materials through its mechanical recycling initiatives, aiming for a cleaner future. Their commitment is embodied in the DURAFIDE® trademark, which they hold in Japan and other countries.
