June 7, 2023 (press release) –

 

Post-consumer and post-industrial recycled content options provide sustainable alternatives for customers

PARSIPPANY, NJ (JUNE 7, 2023) - AdvanSix (NYSE: ASIX), a diversified chemistry company, today announced a new nylon offering with 100 percent post-consumer recycled content, providing a circular solution to help customers meet sustainability goals and create a variety of products, from home office furniture and durable packaging to fast, fuel-efficient cars. AdvanSix will premiere this latest nylon solution at the upcoming Global Pouch Forum in Rosemont, Illinois from June 6-8.

AdvanSix post-industrial (PIR) and post-consumer recycled (PCR) grades AegisĀ® Resins and post-industrial CapranĀ® BOPA Films use 100 percent recycled content to produce nylon 6 products that are every bit as processable, formable, and durable as virgin nylon. They offer the same excellent physical and mechanical properties as conventional nylon products.

"There is a growing demand among plastic and film manufacturers for a reliable, cost-effective supply of 100% recycled materials," said Kori Anderson, Vice President and GM, Nylon Solutions at AdvanSix. "We are pleased to bring products to the market with the potential to help customers reduce carbon footprint, lessen the impact on landfills, and provide a drop-in solution to support a wide variety of end markets and applications that touch people's lives in a more sustainable way."

As one of the top five fully integrated manufacturers of Nylon 6 globally and one of the largest single-site global producers of caprolactam, AdvanSix offers industry-leading quality, consistency and reliability of supply. Designed to meet customer needs with ease, PIR/PCR usage does not require any change in product processability, avoiding tradeoffs with alternative recycled sources and improving carbon footprint without costly re-qualifications or sacrificing performance.

Certified by an independent third-party organization for recycled content using a mass balance and allocation approach, AdvanSix's PCR and PIR is confirmed recycled content that meets food contact materials regulations.

AdvanSix will be presenting its 100 percent recycled content nylon at Booth 5 at the Global Pouch Forum June 6-8. Event attendees will have the opportunity to leamore about the product from AdvanSix representatives as well as see it in action. AdvanSix experts will also be participating in a panel discussion, the Future of Recycling for Flexible Packaging on June 7 at 2:30 p.m.
