A leading European manufacturer of ABS, ELIX Polymers recently grouped all of its Circular Economy products and services under the new E-LOOP brand name. In addition to the ELIX E-LOOP ABS that it will supply to a prominent European Consumer Goods business as part of this cooperation, the company is also working on several more sustainable products that have mechanical and chemical recycling content for additional verticals including automotive, healthcare and toys.
All these sustainable products are certified with the ISCC PLUS certificate (‘International Sustainability and Carbon Certification’). ELIX was the first producer of ABS and ABS-based materials in the world to obtain the ISCC PLUS certification, for its production facility in Tarragona, Spain.
“Cooperations such as the one announced today will allow us to achieve our sustainability goals and offer products to the society that are manufactured using sustainable materials”, said David Castañeda, CEO of ELIX Polymers.
ELIX E-LOOP ABS is made using Econitrile, a versatile, low-carbon footprint product with uses ranging from toys and air filters through to water treatment and engineering materials. Econitrile supports the production of both bio-methane to bio-ammonia and of bio- and circular-naphtha into sustainable propylene. AnQore is the first company in the world to introduce this type of sustainable acrylonitrile into its portfolio to power responsible sourcing and the circular economy.
AnQore’s CEO, Pieter Boon, commented “We are very proud to work with ELIX Polymers and OCI NV on making our value chains more sustainable. Econitrile is unique in the sense that it is readily available and allows consumers of acrylonitrile to immediately reduce the CO2 footprint of their products. By offering Econitrile, made from bio- or recycled raw materials, we support our customers in their journey for a more sustainable future.”
The sustainable ammonia produced by OCI utilizes bio-methane in the production process. This practice was pioneered at OCI, which is the first company to introduce this type of sustainable ammonia in its portfolio, thus contributing to responsible sourcing of bio-based materials. OCI is a first-mover in industrial decarbonization and a leader in developing sustainable ammonia markets, alongside it’s other renewable products such as bio-methanol and development low carbon fertilizers. Through collaboration with its partners and customers, OCI is making the value chain greener and contributes to a more sustainable world.
