Solvay Launches SCS Certified Recycled Nylon 66
Solvay has launched a new and specialised grade of Rhodianyl also called Nylon 66, made of 100 percent pre-consumer recycled polyamide, which is produced at its Santo Andre plant in Brazil.
The product has achieved SCS Recycled Content Certification, reaffirming Solvay’s commitment to circular economy.
According to Solvay, the internationally recognised third-party certification body SCS Global Services performed a rigorous audit to verify the traceability of the Group´s entire manufacturing process.
This included scrap management and the cutting-edge depolymeriation reaction, which generates the final 100 percent, recycled Polymer Rhodianyl.
“This new product complements the Group’s wide range of bio-based, innovative and sustainable polymers for today’s highest-quality textiles and fibres for the consumer goods industry,” Solvay said.
This launch is also part of Solvay’s ambition to reduce the environmental impact of its polyamide supply chain in Brazil.
Several pioneering initiatives have been implemented in recent years, such as achieving a 95 percent reduction in CO2 emissions at the Paulínia factory.
