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.
密歇根州米德蘭——2024年9月5日——今天,陶氏(紐約證券交易所代碼:DOW)宣佈推出其首款用於地板行業的生物循環產品*,這是ENGAGE REN聚烯烴彈性體(POE)產品組合的補充。地板創新*將用於製造地毯地磚背襯,爲纖維提供尺寸穩定性和附着力支持。
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.
這種新的生物循環產品*具有與ENGAGE POE產品組合其他產品相同的高性能,同時可幫助客戶實現其可持續發展目標。ENGAGE REN POE通過利用由生物來源殘留物和負責任來源的廢物(例如用過的食用油)製成的替代原料,並將其轉化爲具有較低碳影響的生物循環產品*,爲原生石化產品提供了可行的替代方案。陶氏的生物循環原料樹脂根據監管鏈質量平衡方法獲得了 ISCC Plus 認證,允許客戶在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."
陶氏包裝和特種塑料業務高級營銷經理喬安娜·喬瓦諾利說:「這項創新是朝着將我們的循環產品擴展到新市場邁出的關鍵一步。」「通過爲地板客戶提供可保持高性能的生物循環原料選項,我們可以爲廢物注入新的活力,從而有可能減少碳足跡和對化石原料的依賴。這就是我們推動陶氏和我們的客戶更接近共同的可持續發展目標的方式。」
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低碳塑料生態系統願景中的關鍵支柱。陶氏的 「改造廢物」 目標旨在到2030年將300萬公噸的循環和可再生解決方案商業化,其中包括使用塑料廢物和替代原料,包括生物循環。這些原材料由廢物殘留物或替代生產過程的副產品製成,通過實現材料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."
陶氏包裝和特種塑料業務的TS&D副科學家羅莎琳·肯特說:「我們致力於開發創新產品,以滿足客戶的可持續發展需求,並幫助推動循環經濟。」「爲此,我們將繼續探索減少生產影響的替代原料選擇,並投資新的合作伙伴關係,開發生物循環原料,生產高質量樹脂。」
