Eastman and Gruppo Maip, a leading international plastics formulator and compound producer based in Turin, Italy, have announced a partnership to formulate new sustainable polymer solutions for automotive interior applications. It will enable an exclusive portfolio of formulations based on Eastman\u2019s Advanced Circular Recycling technology, offering a range of both biobased and molecular-recycled content solutions with Eastman Tritan\u2122 Renew copolyester and Tr\u0113va\u2122 Renew engineering bioplastic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership allows us to develop breakthrough specialty plastic formulations for automakers to meet their aggressive targets for sustainable content and replacement of petroleum-based materials,\u201d said Eligio Martini, president of Gruppo Maip. \u201cThrough Eastman\u2019s circular recycling technologies, OEM manufacturers will now be able to specify content and recycled-content plastics in critical Class A components, such as molded-in-color interior trim.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tritan Renew is powered by Eastman\u2019s polyester renewal technology and delivers up to 50% certified recycled content* diverted from post-consumer and postindustrial waste streams. Unlike mechanically recycled plastics, Tritan Renew offers the same high performance as virgin plastics.<\/p>\n

Tr\u0113va Renew offers up to 48% biobased content sourced from sustainably managed forests and is certified by the USDA’s BioPreferred\u00ae<\/sup> program. In addition, Tr\u0113va\u2122 Renew benefits from carbon renewal technology that uses mixed waste plastic, providing an additional 23% certified recycled content* as an alternative to polycarbonate, ABS and PC-ABS.<\/p>\n

\u201cGruppo Maip is the right strategic partner to help bring new sustainable polymer formulations to the automotive industry,\u201d said Scott Ballard, Eastman\u2019s vice president and general manager of specialty plastics. \u201cThey\u2019re a company with formulation expertise, strong relationships with manufacturers and, above all, a deep commitment to sustainability. Together, we\u2019re looking forward to bringing a new level of sustainability to the automotive industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
