    Innovative, climate-friendly and extremely stable \u2013 that’s the new, sustainable material made from recycled plastic packaging which outdoor equipment provider VAUDE is using for the first time for the rear panel system on its new \u201cReCycle\u201d range of panniers. For this purpose, the German family-owned company has worked together with the recycling companies Interseroh and APK.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cThe fabric of our panniers has long been made from recycled material \u2013 the key innovation is that we can now make a rear panel system from recycled materials as well,\u201d explains Cl\u00e9ment Affholder, Project Manager Innovation at VAUDE. The new panniers are the first panniers at VAUDE \u2013 and on the market in general \u2013 in which all the key materials are made from recycled products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The panniers have also taken a big step towards VAUDE\u2019s climate goal: \u201cWe are aiming for global climate neutrality and want to manufacture most of our products from organically-based or recycled materials by 2024,\u201d explains Antje von Dewitz, Managing Director of VAUDE. This orientation is based on the principle of the circular economy: the use of renewable raw materials and the recycling of materials conserves fossil resources and significantly reduces emissions of CO2<\/sub>\u00a0during the production of materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A rear panel made from post-consumer waste<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The rear panel of the panniers is made of 100 percent Procyclen \u2013 a recycled plastic that the environmental services provider Interseroh makes from post-consumer waste taken from the Yellow Bin\/Yellow Bag according to strict quality standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To enable a light and permanently stable attachment of the pannier to the luggage rack, it is necessary for the plastic design to meet special requirements. The especially for VAUDE developed Procyclen, a polypropylene recompound, has a particularly long-term impact strength in the extremely low and high temperature range, with additional UV and surface scratch resistance being guaranteed. At the same time, an improved tensile strength ensures the geometric stability of the product. \u201cThis product is a unique, new formulation, the properties of which have never been achieved before on an industrial scale, including the modification of virgin materials,\u201d explains Dr Manica Ulcnik-Krump, Head of Business Unit Recycled-Resource at Interseroh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With its \u201cRecycled-Resource\u201d process, Interseroh has perfected the compounding of used plastics and the production of customer-specific recycling raw materials \u2013 to the benefit of industry and the environment: according to a study by the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT, the use of Procyclen spares roughly 56 percent of greenhouse gas emissions compared with the use of virgin material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fastening hooks made from recycled multilayer film<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    For\u00a0the pannier\u2019s fastening hooks VAUDE\u00a0uses a high-performance, reinforced polyamide 6 recyclate from APK AG.\u00a0The polyamide recyclate was\u00a0produced using the innovative Newcycling\u00ae process, a physical, solvent-based process in which high-purity recyclates are obtained from waste from the manufacturing of PA\/PE multilayer film for packaging.For the hooks, VAUDE required a recycled material which can withstand high loads under the most varied outdoor conditions and stands out due to its durability. It was also necessary to ensure the good colouring capability of the material to take design-relevant factors into account. The recyclate Mersamid\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0from APK AG fulfils\u00a0all of these requirement, at the same time as reducing its CO2<\/sub>\u00a0footprint in comparison with virgin polyamide by 88 percent (ifeu, 2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe are very pleased to have this excellent opportunity to demonstrate the suitability of our PA recyclates for demanding applications such as the panniers from VAUDE. This is a great example of the fact that it is possible to recycle waste from a material stream that was not previously possible to recycle effectively using conventional technology,\u201d says Klaus Wohnig, CEO of APK AG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    New \u201cReCycle\u201d range of panniers now available from retailers<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The new range of panniers consists of three different sized rear panniers (ReCycle Pro Single, ReCycle Back Single, ReCycle Back) and a shopping bag for the bike luggage rack (ReCycle Shopper). All the panniers are sealed so they are waterproof and manufactured on a climate neutral basis in Germany. They will be available in stores from October 2021 onwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
