Recycled Polycarbonates from Covestro Now Available via ALBIS

With its sustainable engineering plastics, Covestro wants to drive the transition to a circular economy. To this end, the company is continuously developing innovative material solutions that have a lower impact on the environment than conventional plastics. ALBIS is now marketing Covestro’s comprehensive R portfolio, which consists of mechanically recycled post-consumer (PCR) and post-industrial (PIR) polycarbonates and polycarbonate blends. The sales area covers the whole of Europe, North Africa, China and Southeast Asia.

With recycled content of 30 – 90 percent, these plastic solutions offer a variety of crucial properties which are relevant for many industries. Thanks to their excellent flame retardancy, the R-polycarbonates and R-polycarbonate blends are particularly suitable for the electrical and electronics industry as well as for the mobility sector. Examples of applications include housings for household applications and televisions as well as components in e-charging stations and vehicle interiors.

“By expanding our portfolio to include high quality, mechanically recycled polycarbonate from Covestro, we are adding further solutions to our range of sustainable materials – and therefore offering our customers ever more alternatives to fossil-based solutions,” says Tony Harrison, Senior Director Global Technical Service & Application Development at ALBIS.

Mathieu Jung, Global Mobility Industry Manager at Covestro, adds: “Our high-quality R series proves that it is possible to use recycled plastics without compromising on quality or aesthetics. We want to support the industry in its transformation to a circular economy and are happy to continue on this path together with ALBIS as a tried and trusted partner.” According to Covestro, the recyclates can reduce the carbon footprint by up to 50 percent compared to virgin materials.

In addition to PCR and PIR polycarbonates, Covestro’s RE portfolio also enables customers to achieve their sustainability goals. The ISCC PLUS-certified materials are based on raw materials from mass-balanced organic waste and residues and can seamlessly replace their fossil counterparts as a drop-in solution without complex and costly approval processes. The RE series is also available from ALBIS.
