Mass Balance Approach
As environmental awareness grows, and the necessity of recycling valuable raw materials is recognized, thermoplastics containing a proportion of recycled material are increasingly in demand as sustainable materials.

LANXESS is responding to this trend by supplying recyclate grades in the form of its Durethan® ECO and Pocan® ECO ranges.

The polyamide grades ECOBKV30H2.0, ECOBKV35H2.0 and ECOBKV60XF according to the mass balance principle contain 100% recycled glass fiber correspondent to ecoloop certificates.

Durethan ECOBKV20FN20 is a flame-retardant thermoplastics reinforced with 20% glass fiber respectively. Pre-consumer recyclate is used in their production.

The polyester blend series Pocan ECOT contains a specially recycled post-consumer PET. This makes it possible to produce premium finished parts, such as white goods, whose properties and quality are very close to those of virgin material.
