\u00a9 Ascend Performance Materials<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Ascend Performance Materials announced today the successful production of acrylonitrile, hexamethylene diamine, adipic acid and nylon 6,6 from feedstocks derived from used cooking oil, expanding its\u00a0Bioserve<\/a>\u00a0portfolio. The resulting nylon 6,6 has a 25% lower product carbon footprint than nylon 6,6 made from fossil-fuel derived feedstock.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using an ISCC Plus-certified mass-balance approach allows for industrial-scale production of sustainable materials without sacrificing performance. Ascend\u2019s production facilities in the United States are all ISCC Plus certified to handle bio-based, circular and bio-circular materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe are focused on finding technical solutions for our customers\u2019 challenges,\u201d said Alex Mihut, Ascend\u2019s vice president<\/strong> for performance chemicals. \u201cUsing the mass-balance approach allows us to meet the growing need for sustainable materials at scale while continuing to offer reliable performance and quality.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Combined with Ascend\u2019s efforts to lower its scope 1 and 2 emissions, the company\u2019s Bioserve products offer among the lowest product carbon footprints for industrial-scale nylon 6,6 and its precursors available in the market today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cPart of our sustainability strategy is a pillar we call \u2018Operating Without Compromise\u2019,\u201d said Chris Johnson, Ascend\u2019s senior director<\/strong> for sustainability. \u201cIt is based on a commitment to find well-rounded solutions that meet the needs of our customers and help them achieve their goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
