The Maip Group, a leading international supplier of plastic formulations and composites, has announced the launch of the Cherbio series of new automotive composites made using Eastman's molecular recycling technology.
According to reports, these new composite materials are ISCC Plus certified, contain chemically recycled components and bio-based materials, and can provide a series of functional products with a variety of colors and special aesthetic effects.
Announced the introduction of new sustainable polymers for the European automotive market using Eastman's molecular recycling technology.
Cherbio T-Series products processed with Eastman polyester recycling technology provide up to 50% certified recyclable content from post-consumer and industrial waste streams. Unlike mechanically recycled plastic, it has the same high performance as virgin plastic.
Cherbio C series contains up to 48% bio-based ingredients from sustainably managed forests. In addition, the product contains 20%-40% certified recyclable content, which is produced by processing waste plastics using Eastman carbon recycling technology.
Eastman says its proven molecular recycling technology provides true recycling for hard-to-recycle waste plastics that are often incinerated or sent to landfills. These waste plastics are broken down into useful components and repolymerized into new materials.
At present, Eastman has invested in the construction of molecular recycling facilities in many places to support the production of sustainable materials. Among them, Eastman's first facility in Tennessee is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2022, and the second facility in France is expected to be completed in 2025.
