Trinseo (NYSE: TSE), a specialty material solutions provider, announced today the inauguration of its polycarbonate (PC) dissolution pilot facility in Terneuzen, the Netherlands on April 5, 2023. The new pilot facility is a major step in Trinseo\u2019s commitment to sustainability, part of the journey in realizing the company\u2019s sustainability goals. The guests of honor at the inauguration ceremony included Jo-Annes de Bat, Provincial Executive (responsible for regional economy) of the Netherlands.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An essential element of Trinseo\u2019s innovation is focused on developing and delivering sustainable solutions. Across all businesses, this is a driving force behind our R&D efforts. While we are currently in the R&D phase, the state-of-the-art pilot facility is situated in a temporary area in Trinseo\u2019s Terneuzen site and will later be moved into the Central Process Research Laboratory in the same site, which is currently under construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDissolution recycling\u201d is a type of physical recycling process where the needed polymer is extracted by the use of solvents. The extracted polymers will then be used to make new recycled polymers. Trinseo\u2019s PC dissolution technology is an advanced technology by which post- or pre-consumer materials containing PC, be it an automotive or consumer electronics part that is mixed with other plastics, metal or even glass, can be put directly into the solvent without any pre-treatment. The solvent will dissolve PC contained in those end-of-life parts while all other non-PC materials will remain, and can then be used for other recycling purposes. The dissolved PC extracted is 100% recycled PC that could be used for compounding into new materials for an array of applications, such as mobile phone casing, printer enclosure or automotive parts.<\/p>

\u201cWe are very excited to have started up the pilot facility for PC dissolution,\u201d said Francesca Reverberi, Senior Vice President & Chief Sustainability Officer at Trinseo<\/strong>, \u201cThis technology deepens the potential in circularity.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThis is a R&D milestone in Trinseo\u2019s sustainability journey,\u201d added Han Hendriks, Senior Vice President, Chief Technology Officer<\/strong>. \u201cWith our expanding R&D capabilities and organization, more robust innovations are in the pipeline.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The pilot plant will play a significant role in helping Trinseo achieve its 2030 Sustainability Goals, while accelerating recycling and increasing the supply of sustainable feedstock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
