E-LOOP Circular Plastics as part of the ELIX sustainable portfolio solutions

ELIX promotes a circular plastics economy system through the development of mechanically and chemically recycled products.

Solution Description

The circular economy model generates value from waste and avoids sending recyclable plastics to landfill. Plastic waste is a valuable resource that can be used to produce new plastic raw materials and remanufacture parts and products.

ELIX aims to be a key player in a circular plastics industry, creating closed loops and new business models, and positioning with strategies that recover ABS or any sub-product, enhance recircularisation and establish alliances along the value chain.

Within this framework of increasing circularity, ELIX collaborates with different partners in the development of more sustainable solutions. The main objective is to increase the amount of recycled or renewable material in our products and ensure the traceability of these materials.

Features

Products containing renewable or chemically recycled materials based on mass balance approach, with 100% identical properties to virgin materials.

Products with recycled content commercially available from both pre- and post-industrial waste origins. Circular products with the same level of functionality in end customer applications as virgin materials, offering upcycling solutions. ISCC PLUS certification in place to ensure traceability along the whole supply chain for chemically recycled and bio-based products. Close cooperation with suppliers and customers based on long-term agreements.
