Recycling of PA12 (including 3D printing powder)

Background

More and more brands or products with environmental protection concepts have been accepted and favored by consumers in the end market along with the deepening of the environmental protection idea in recent years. Many market-leading consumer goods brands have clearly stated in their social responsibility reports that they will increase the proportion of environmentally friendly materials year by year, until they completely replace non-environmentally friendly materials. The concept of environmentally friendly materials varies. The synthetic monomers can be bio-based. The production waste can be reused. The finished products can be recycled. The materials can degrade in the nature after being processed. And carbon emissions can be reduced by improving material processing flows.

Target

PA12, the star product of Evonik’s High Performance
Polymers business line, in the form of either pellet or powder, is widely used in various fields. As an advanced chemical company with a strong sense of social responsibility, we are willing to work with companies with innovative solutions in material recycling to jointly develop relevant products for market and customers, thus contributing to the sustainable development of the environment and economy.
