Drylock has approved the use of these films for various absorbent hygiene applications, such as sanitary pads, panty liners, towels and diapers in feminine, baby and incontinence care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a global trend towards identifying solutions for single-use disposable absorbent hygiene products\u201d says Abdullah Al-Otaibi, General Manager of Engineering Thermoplastic &amp; Market Solutions at SABIC. \u201cWith our TRUCIRCLE\u2122 initiative, we identified sustainable solutions for such challenges. Our value chain partnership with Plastik Group and Drylock can serve as a role model for making a difference. While it demonstrates a feasible route to more responsible, circular product solutions, it meets with our aims to increase efficiency and create value of used materials that would otherwise end up as waste in landfill sites or incineration plants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SABIC produces TRUCIRCLE\u2122 certified circular polymers for its SABIC PURECARES\u2122 polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) polymers portfolio with feedstock from advanced recycling of mixed and used plastic, which keeps valuable used plastic in the circular chain. Plastik Group uses PP and PE resins from this portfolio to create various innovative film materials for absorbent hygiene applications. Drylock has selected these films for manufacturing a range of new hygiene products that meet increased regulatory, brand owner and consumer demands for more responsible, lower-carbon and waste reducing solutions without compromising safety, purity and convenience. At the end of their service life, these hygiene products can be returned into the raw materials cycle for separation of components, cleaning and re-conversion to circular feedstock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe operate two manufacturing sites for hygiene films and bags accredited to mass balance accounting according to the International Sustainability &amp; Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS regime for tracing the circular or bio-based material content throughout the entire production chain,\u201d states Cattaneo Gianangelo, President at Plastik Group. \u201cDepending on customer specifications and technical requirements, the content of circular certified polymers from SABIC in our films can be raised all the way up to 100 percent, resulting in a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to conventional hygiene films.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing a global leader in sustainable hygiene products means taking care of a lot of things, from vegan and cruelty-free solutions to maintaining our carbon neutral status,\u201d adds Jules Van Malderen, Business Development Director at Drylock Technologies. \u201cThe substitution of standard virgin PE film by paper and film based on recycled PE is just one example. We will continue moving further into this direction, as fast and disruptive innovation is a part of our DNA, even more so when it comes to sustainability. After all, by our slogan we \u2018Innovate to protect\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Absorbent hygiene application samples illustrating the benefits of this value chain collaboration will be featured during K 2022 from October 19 to 26 in D\u00fcsseldorf, Germany, at SABIC\u2019s Booth D42 in Hall 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, has announced that Plastik Group, a major international manufacturer of films and bags for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34031,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,16],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-34030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-plas-tv-meldungen-auf-der-startseite-unterhalb-slider","category-plast-tv-textmeldungen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34030"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34030\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34032,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34030\/revisions\/34032"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/34031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34030"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fseries&post=34030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
