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.
密西根州米德蘭 – 2024年9月5日 – 今天,陶氏化學(紐交所:陶氏化學)宣佈推出其第一款面向地板行業的生物循環產品*,作爲ENGAGE REN聚烯烴彈性體(POE)產品組合的新增產品。這種地板創新*將用於製造地毯瓷磚背襯,以提供纖維的尺寸穩定性和粘附支撐。
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.
這款新的生物循環產品*在保持高性能的同時幫助客戶實現可持續目標。ENGAGE REN POE提供了一個可替代的選擇,使用從生物質來源和負責任的廢棄物,如廢食用油,生產的替代原料將它們轉化爲更低碳足跡的生物循環產品*。陶氏化學從生物循環基原料生產的樹脂通過質量平衡方法獲得了ISCC PLUS認證,允許客戶在其供應鏈中考慮這些材料。
"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."
陶氏化學包裝和特種塑料業務高級市場經理Joanna Giovanoli表示:「這項創新是將循環可持續性產品擴展到新市場的重要一步。通過支持我們的地板客戶使用保持高性能的生物循環基原料選項,我們可以賦予廢棄物新生命,從而可能降低碳足跡,並減少對化石基原料的依賴。這是我們將陶氏和我們的客戶更接近實現共同可持續目標的方式。」
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.
生物循環材料是陶氏化學實現低碳塑料生態系統願景的關鍵支柱。陶氏化學的「轉化廢物」目標旨在到2030年商業化300萬公噸的循環和可再生解決方案,其中包括使用塑料廢物和生物循環等替代原料。這些原材料是由廢棄物殘留物或替代生產過程的副產品製成的,通過實現材料的再利用來支持循環經濟。
"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."
陶氏化學包裝和特種塑料業務聯合TS&D科學家Rosalyn Kent表示:「我們致力於開發滿足客戶可持續需求的創新產品,並推動邁向循環經濟的發展。」爲此,我們繼續探索減少生產影響的替代原料選項,並投資於推動生物循環原材料轉化爲生產高品質樹脂的新夥伴關係。”
