Ascend Launches ReDefyne™ Recycled Materials; working with ITW on blockchain traceability
HOUSTON, 19 October 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Ascend Performance Materials has launched ReDefyne™, a portfolio of sustainable polyamides made with up to 100% pre- and post-consumer recycled polyamide 66 or 6 to provide a low carbon footprint and reliable performance, even in demanding applications.
Ascend Performance Materials has launched a new portfolio of sustainable pre- and post-consumer recycled polyamides under the name ReDefyne.
“We are focused on helping our customers achieve their long-term sustainability goals with innovative, reliable products,” said Steve Manning, Ascend’s senior director of engineered materials. “ReDefyne combines our expertise from Poliblend with our integrated operations and our global application development expertise to produce a recycled polyamide that performs in areas that recycled materials are typically excluded from.”
ReDefyne products are third-party certified and Ascend is partnering with ITW Global Fasteners to pilot blockchain traceability to UNI EN 15343 through Plastic Finder’s Certified Circular Plastic® program.
“With ReDefyne, ITW produces fasteners with a significantly lower carbon footprint,” said Christelle Staller, Ascend’s Sales Director for EMEAI. “ITW and Ascend both believe that sustainability requires accountability and are excited to trial Certified Circular Plastic’s blockchain traceability program.”
Ascend, a fully integrated durable materials manufacturer, is focused on reducing its products’ carbon footprint after announcing a commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2030 and two new milestones announced earlier this month.
Ascend will showcase its sustainability efforts and new products, including ReDefyne, HiDura MED and its new e-mobility solutions, under its Advancing Together theme at K 2022 from 19-26. October in Hall 6 Stand A07.
