Ascend的圆形聚合物 and ReDefyne experts highlight expanded options for post-consumer recycled nylons, 宠物和PP

Recycling post-consumer nylons for high-performance applications is possible – and achievable with high product consistency and low energy consumption. Ascend的圆形聚合物 leader Maria Field has been tapped by Compounding World Expo to show attendees the possibilities. 

In her talk titled “Nylon Recycling: A Circularity Story,” Field will discuss how mechanical recycling can convert end-of-life carpet back into usable 尼龙6,尼龙6或尼龙6, 无需使用加水. With Circular Polymers’ recycling technology, these materials can find new life as fibers or pellets used in new applications, including high-performance engineered materials. The company also recycles polypropylene, 宠物 and calcium carbonate from carpet. 

“Recycling carpet has never been more efficient or effective,” Field says. 在Circular Polymers, our proprietary process allows us to convert landfill-bound carpet into feedstocks for materials that go into finished goods such as automobiles, 电动汽车, 家具, 家用电器及其他.” 

Field’s presentation is scheduled for 2:40 p.m. 11月. 15 at Compounding World Expo Theater Two in Cleveland, Ohio. 演出将于11月举行. 15-16, and Circular Polymers will co-exhibit with its parent company, 奥升德高性能材料, in 站a - 1208

Ascend experts will be on-hand to discuss ReDefyne™, a line of post-consumer and post-industrial recycled compounds designed for demanding applications, such as under the hood of autos and in 电动汽车.  

Ascend的圆形聚合物, a leading recycler of post-consumer carpet, provides the feedstocks for ReDefyne production. It also offers recycled fibers and pellets as feedstocks for compounds and injection molding applications. 今年早些时候,该公司 推出Cerene™, a line of recycled polymers and materials.  

奥升德高性能材料, a fully integrated producer of durable high-performance materials, is known for its innovations in 尼龙6,6. Cerene continues that legacy with offerings in 尼龙6,6 while also bringing to market recycled polymers such as 尼龙6, 宠物和PP. 

“Customers around the globe are seeking consistent and reliable post-consumer recycled materials,玛丽亚·菲尔德说, business director of Ascend的圆形聚合物. “All our feedstocks and Cerene materials come from a mechanical recycling process that minimizes carbon footprint and environmental impact.” 

Ascend的圆形聚合物 has redirected 85 million pounds of carpet from landfills into new goods in its California facility since 2018. Industry recognition includes the Plastic Industry 可持续性 Innovation award, Innovation Showcase award from the Association of Plastic Recyclers, Arrow Award from the California 正规网赌软件十大排行 Stewardship Council and Processor of the Year award from the 地毯 America Recovery Effort. 

Ascend has published its 2030 Vision, a set of nine sustainability targets including a target to reduce waste by 40% and reduce its scope 1 emissions by 90%. The company recently announced two new efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of its products

Field is a leader in the commercialization and manufacturing of recycled products. As the business development director for Ascend的圆形聚合物, she leads the growth of the company’s recycled 尼龙6, 尼龙6,6, 宠物, polypropylene and calcium carbonate feedstocks. She previously helped create the carbon neutrality program for Ascend and its customers.
