ELASTOMERS AND PLASTICS Sustainable SBR Compounding through Eco-Design and Recycling

The growing market request of rubber products at reduced environmental impact typically involves Bio Attributed (BA), Bio-Circular Attributed (BCA) and Circular attributed (CA) polymers. Sustainability is obtained through the use of bio-naphtha or pyrolysis oil for monomer production.

The Circular Economy business model is focused on promoting the reconversion of production activities, reducing the use of resources and, at the same time, making the most from waste. This approach is expressed in three lines of development: the diversification of feedstock through the use of raw materials from renewable sources and secondary raw materials, the development of mechanical, physical and chemical recycling technologies for plastics and tires and the planning of new solutions from an ecodesign perspective.
