Vynova has launched the world\u2019s first range of certified circular-attributed PVC resins. The innovative PVC portfolio is manufactured using circular ethylene which is produced from mixed plastic waste, helping close the loop on plastics recycling.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new circular-attributed PVC is produced using ethylene which is made from pyrolysis oil as feedstock. This feedstock is produced from mixed plastic waste streams via pyrolysis. This is a chemical recycling process in which plastic waste is heated without oxygen so that it breaks down into products that can be further processed into a chemical feedstock, in this case ethylene.<\/p>\n

This approach contributes to sustainable management of difficult to recycle plastic waste streams, advancing the journey towards a circular economy. Furthermore, the pyrolysis oil replaces conventional fossil feedstock, resulting in a CO2<\/sub> emission reduction of 50%1. The circular ethylene is supplied to Vynova by SABIC2 from the company\u2019s production facilities in Geleen (the Netherlands).<\/p>\n

VynoEcoSolutions<\/h3>\n

The circular-attributed PVC resins will be marketed under the VynoEcoSolutions brand, Vynova\u2019s new portfolio of circular and renewable products, which currently also includes the company\u2019s bio-attributed PVC range.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the launch of our new generation of PVC resins, we have reached another milestone in our journey towards circularity. By using circular feedstock in the production of PVC, we are enabling our customers to achieve their sustainability goals and helping to address the issue of plastics waste management\u201d, comments Jonathan Stewart, Vynova Vice President PVC Business Management.<\/p>\n

Same product quality and performance<\/h3>\n

The circular-attributed PVC resins meet the same rigorous product quality, specifications and material performance as Vynova\u2019s conventionally produced PVC grades. Converters will be able to process the new PVC resins with their existing equipment, under identical process conditions.<\/p>\n

Vynova\u2019s circular-attributed PVC portfolio can be used in both rigid and flexible applications and includes an extensive range of K-values. The new range of PVC resins will initially be manufactured at the Vynova sites in Beek (the Netherlands) and Mazingarbe (France).<\/p>\n

Vynova\u2019s circular-attributed PVC grades are certified under the ISCC PLUS framework according to a mass balance approach. ISCC is a globally applicable sustainability certification system that covers all sustainable feedstocks, including agricultural and forestry biomass, circular materials and renewables. The ISCC PLUS certification scheme requires strict traceability and is verified by independent third-party auditors.<\/p>\n
