Sustainable
Improve the plastic recycle rate for statable world
Current Issues in Plastic Recycling
- Black plastic products cannot be sorted by optical sorting machine
- High jetness and durabilities
- Compliant in the laws and regulations of each country
These issues will be solved
by Sicopal® Black K 0098 FK, then contribute to plastic recycling as Europe or U.S.
One of the challenge of plastic recycling is the sorting of black plastic.
If we are able to solve the issue, it will lead directly to securing market superiority.
Current
In plastic recycling, near-infrared light is used to sort out plastic types, but carbon black, which is used to color black, absorbs near-infrared light, making it difficult to sort out.
For near future
In Europe, there are already needs for recyclable black pigments that can be replaced carbon black.
In Japan, the Law for Promotion of Recycling of Plastic Resources is also required to formulate guidelines for plastic recycling, and the use of carbon black may become a problem in the near future.
Solving this challenge will lead to creat new businesses.
