Achieve closed-loop production

DSM has announced the launch of the CirculariTeam Alliance with leading partners to drive the transition
to renewable and recycled resources across industries.

CirculariTeam provides a platform for sharing knowledge, resources and technical solutions with the goal of closed-loop production
of high-performance fiber materials with Dyneema.
Members of this cross-industry alliance come from all parts of the value chain, all of whom use Dyneema, a high-performance material from DSM
, in their products.

CirculariTeam has identified 7 focus areas – reverse logistics, recycling and reuse solutions, improving production efficiency (including reducing waste), separating waste into material components, circular design, regulation and information sharing
.
Alliance members have begun collaborating on these topics, with the goal of publishing the technical feasibility
of making new Dyneema fibers from post-waste by the end of 2021.
In the coming years, the Alliance will continue to reassess its objectives and review progress
through regular summits and ongoing communication.
