Recently, Eastman officially launched an innovative chemical recycling technology into commercial operation, aiming to solve the most serious global environmental problem of plastic waste pollution
.
carbon regeneration technology
carbon regeneration technologyRecycling at the molecular level
Recycling at the molecular levelEastman's carbon regeneration technology converts plastic waste into basic molecules such as carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, including single-use plastic, packaging plastic waste, such as food packaging, flexible plastic film, textiles and blankets, etc.
It provides terminal treatment solutions for low-value waste plastics that are not recycled in garbage classification, solves the problems that cannot be handled by traditional mechanical recycling technology, and avoids environmental pollution caused by landfill or incineration
.
Application prospect
Application prospectBy 2021, Eastman's carbon recycling technology units are expected to handle 22 million tons of plastic waste
.
The carbon regeneration technology is operational at Eastman's global headquarters and its largest manufacturing site, Kingsport
.
Application example, new PCT mobile phone case
Application example, new PCT mobile phone caseNovember 30, 2020 Outdoor brand Lander has launched a new environmentally friendly protective case designed for Apple's iPhone 12.
Among them, the popular Torrey series of protective cases use Eastman Tritan™ Renew sustainable material
.
Tritan (modified PCT, polymer of dimethyl terephthalate and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol) PCT is Eastman The patented material is a high temperature resistant, semi-crystalline thermoplastic with similar properties to PET and PBT, but superior to PET in heat resistance, chemical resistance and moisture resistance
.
Compared with traditional Tritan, Tritan Renew is a step further in sustainability.
Through carbon regeneration technology, the molecules of the new material contain up to 50% recycled content of waste plastics, while maintaining the new material level in terms of durability and shatter resistance, And is resistant to a wide range of cleaning products
.
The outer shell of the case is made of degradable bio-based plastic, and the inner side is a hard protective layer made by Tritan Renew
.
Tritan Renew is the first material Eastman brings to market through the molecular recycling method.
It uses recycled plastic as raw material and reduces the consumption of fossil raw materials
.
●The recycled content of Eastman Tritan Renew material has been certified by a third party and can be used to produce a wide range of products including sports water cups, small appliances, food storage boxes, eyewear and cosmetic packaging

In addition to using environmentally friendly materials, Lander adopts a recyclable design for the product as a whole.
It uses 100% recyclable non-plastic materials on the product packaging, and uses soybean ink to print.
The corresponding recyclable marks are also marked in the logistics and transportation links.
