Due to the involved parties’ commitment to pushing circular solutions for polymers and the solution’s drop-in character, the partners were able to establish the value chain in a rather short period of time. Little more than six months passed bet- ween the start of the project and the pro- duction of the first pipes made with chemically recycled PEX waste. The partnership holds potential for fur- ther cooperation beyond production waste: The PEX pipes made by Uponor have already been optimized from a re- source efficiency point of view by reduc- ing their wall thickness and increasing lifetime. At the end of their long life, me- chanical recycling is so far the first recy- cling option, but it also means downcycling the materials, e.g. into other construction materials or items. With che- mical recycling, though, the PEX waste pipes can be turned into fully functional PEX pipes again. Moving forward, the partners will evaluate further opportuni- ties for cooperation. Aside from broad- ening the waste material pool, this may also include higher recycled volumes. ➠ BYK-Chemie GmbH www.byk.com commitments.
