Dow Introduces Its First Bio-circular Attributed Product for Carpet Tile Backing
MIDLAND, Mich. – September 5, 2024 – Today, Dow (NYSE: DOW) announced the introduction of its first bio-circular product* for the flooring industry, an addition to the ENGAGE REN Polyolefin Elastomers (POE) product portfolio. The flooring innovation* will be used in the manufacturing of carpet tile backing to provide dimensional stability and adhesion support for fibers.
密西根州米德兰 – 2024年9月5日 – 今天,陶氏化学(纽交所:陶氏化学)宣布推出其第一款面向地板行业的生物循环产品*,作为ENGAGE REN聚烯烃弹性体(POE)产品组合的新增产品。这种地板创新*将用于制造地毯瓷砖背衬,以提供纤维的尺寸稳定性和粘附支撑。
This new bio-circular product* brings the same high performance as the rest of the ENGAGE POE portfolio while helping customers meet their sustainability goals. ENGAGE REN POEs offer a viable alternative to virgin petrochemical products by utilizing alternative feedstocks produced from residues of biological origin and responsibly sourced waste, such as used cooking oil, and converting them into bio-circular products* with a lower carbon impact. Dow's resins from bio-circular feedstocks are ISCC PLUS-certified under a mass balance approach for chain of custody, allowing customers to account for these materials in their supply chains.
这款新的生物循环产品*在保持高性能的同时帮助客户实现可持续目标。ENGAGE REN POE提供了一个可替代的选择,使用从生物质来源和负责任的废弃物,如废食用油,生产的替代原料将它们转化为更低碳足迹的生物循环产品*。陶氏化学从生物循环基原料生产的树脂通过质量平衡方法获得了ISCC PLUS认证,允许客户在其供应链中考虑这些材料。
"This innovation represents a crucial step toward expanding our circularity offerings into new markets," said Joanna Giovanoli, senior marketing manager for Dow's Packaging and Specialty Plastics business. "By supporting our flooring customers with bio-circular feedstock options that maintain high performance, we can give waste a new life, potentially reducing carbon footprints and reliance on fossil feedstocks. This is how we are moving Dow and our customers closer to shared sustainability goals."
陶氏化学包装和特种塑料业务高级市场经理Joanna Giovanoli表示:“这项创新是将循环可持续性产品扩展到新市场的重要一步。通过支持我们的地板客户使用保持高性能的生物循环基原料选项,我们可以赋予废弃物新生命,从而可能降低碳足迹,并减少对化石基原料的依赖。这是我们将陶氏和我们的客户更接近实现共同可持续目标的方式。”
Bio-circular materials are a key pillar within Dow's vision for a lower-carbon plastics ecosystem. Dow's "Transform the Waste" target aims to commercialize 3 million metric tons of circular and renewable solutions by 2030, which involves using plastic waste and alternative feedstocks, including bio-circular. These raw materials, made from waste residues or by-products from an alternative production process, support a circular economy by enabling material reuse.
生物循环材料是陶氏化学实现低碳塑料生态系统愿景的关键支柱。陶氏化学的“转化废物”目标旨在到2030年商业化300万公吨的循环和可再生解决方案,其中包括使用塑料废物和生物循环等替代原料。这些原材料是由废弃物残留物或替代生产过程的副产品制成的,通过实现材料的再利用来支持循环经济。
"We are committed to developing innovative products that meet the sustainability needs of our customers and help drive toward a circular economy," said Rosalyn Kent, associate TS&D scientist for Dow's Packaging and Specialty Plastics business. "To do this, we continue to explore alternative feedstock options that reduce the impacts of production and invest in new partnerships that progress bio-circular raw materials to produce high-quality resins."
陶氏化学包装和特种塑料业务联合TS&D科学家Rosalyn Kent表示:“我们致力于开发满足客户可持续需求的创新产品,并推动迈向循环经济的发展。”为此,我们继续探索减少生产影响的替代原料选项,并投资于推动生物循环原材料转化为生产高品质树脂的新伙伴关系。”
