Editor's Notes
- Thanks for giving me the opportunity to speak and thanks to Edwin for showing some fine examples of, green, metal replacement. I have tuned my presentation further into green and sustainable solutions, offered by Biesterfeld. A little about me. My name is Johnny Olsen. I have degree in plastic engineering combined with a business degree and I have worked almost 30 years within plastic raw materials.
- Briefly about Biesterfeld. We are a family-owned company, headquartered in Hamburg, and we were founded more than 100 years ago. We are among the largest distributors of plastic and rubber in Europe and globally, with a turnover of 1,2 billion EUR and a little over 800 employees.
- To begin I like to dwell a little on why we use plastics. To me it is common sense but not to everyone. Plastics are vital to reduce food waste. Generally plastic packaging is used to protect valuable products e.g TV, computers, iPhones, not to mention medical items and safety products (e.g. child seat). Plastic enable weight reduction of cars, trucks, airplanes, trains, bicycles and shoes. Plastic is also used for house insulation, to save energy, and for insulation of cables to enable electricity to the fridge and the computer, not to mention the E-car. Last not least plastic is used in production of green energy e.g. windmills, solar cells, batteries etc.
- The plastic consumption in Europa has increased until 2017 but the consumption declined from 2017 to 2018. Mainly due to optimizing of materials: Down-gauging of bottles, films and carrier bags, and combination of materials e.g. stand-up pouches and multilayer sheet/films. However globally the plastics consumption is growing firmly and the consumption is expected to exceed 500 million tons in 2030
- Plastics are challenged by the fact they are mainly produced by fossil gasses and fuels. Long term all plastics will need to be produced by recycled or bio based raw materials. However not short term as we continue to pump up large quantities of oil and gasses. Especially in the Middle East and Russia. The US was a game-changer when they started fracking shale gas and oil and have gone from being one of the world’s largest importers to the 3rd largest producer of oil and gas, and said to be self-sufficient more than 100 years. Despite this, we need to nurse our resources and we can in larger scale produce plastics with recycled and bio based raw materials.
- Our long-term partner SK Chemicals from Korea has produced co-polyesters with bio content for many years, and they recently launched the same co-polyesters with content of Post-Consumer-Recycled PET.
- Within the plastic pyramid EcoZen and co-polyesters belong to the group of amorphous technical plastics and they are mainly competing with PC, PMMA (acrylic) and MABS (transparent ABS), but to a large extend also with PS, PET, PP and PE.
- PET is well known for water and soda bottles. But PET and standard PETG have limited heat stability. PET bottles will collapse in contact with hot water but the bio content in EcoZen yields heat stability and the EcoZen grades can be used for hot-fill and microwaves applications.
- Ecozen has a very good stain and chemical resistance, and it is dishwasher safe. This means it be can dish washed over and over without crazing and without losing gloss and transparency. It has a very high impact strength even at low temperature and the impact strength is higher than PC known from bullet resistant glass. On top EcoZen is BPA free and it has a green touch with the bio-based monomer content.
- EcoZen can be used for thick-walled bottles and glasses, spectacles, toothbrushes, food trays for microwaves, TV-frames, refrigerator parts etc.
- About a year ago SK Chemicals introduced EcoTria to the market which is a combination of co-polyester with bio-content and post-consumer-recycled PET. Ecotria is grouped according to method of process: R100 for ISBM, that we know from water and soda bottles; R200 for injection moulded parts and P/S100 for shrink film. All grades are recyclable within the PET triangle #1.
- PET is in many ways a unique polymer. It is amorphous yet crystallizable i.e. the polymer goes from gradually softening in the amorphous state to a sharp melting point in the crystalline state. Bottle PET comes crystalline, so it can be dried shorter time at high temperature. The challenge with EcoTria is to control the crystallinity and the crystallinity speed so it does not soften and clump during drying and processing and to prevent it from crystallizing during cooling as this will negatively influence the transparency of the parts. This is something SK muster with EcoTria.
- EcoTria can be used for thick-walled injection molded and blow molded parts. Here you see an example of a beautiful thick-walled bottle. The overall transparency and the aesthetic are very high. There can be a sporadic gel, but it does not influence the transparency. I have brought some part so show around, but useless until we can transform parts…
- Another long-term partner of us, NUREL from Zaragoza in Spain, produces INZEA where the polymer component is 100% bio-based.
- The bio-polymer is a 2nd generation PLA in the family of polyesters. The plant base is corn, and the bio-based polymer content various from 40 to 95%. All the components are GMO-free and 100% compostable.
- INZEA is not competing with the food chains. The global agricultural area is around 4,7 billion hectare (1 HA = 10000 m2) and only 0,016% of the land is used for production of biomass of which 0,5% is used to produce INZEA grades. In 2023 the area is expected to increase to 0,02% but it remains small.
- All the INZEA grades are TÜV certified ‘Industrial Compostable’. Some grades are ‘Home Compostable’, and one grade is even water degradable and ‘Marine certified’. This means it will degrade in the sea/ocean and it will degrade even if a fish or bird consumes it.
- Here you see a degradation of a bio-polymer film made from INZEA. After 26 weeks hardly any material is left.
- Another example where INZEA F29 HT10 is used for coffee capsules. This is a heat stabilized grade. The coffee capsules have been tested for Home Compost by the coffee manufacture and the coffee capsules were literally gone after 18 weeks of composting.
- In Denmark we largely incinerate our garbage and recover energy for heating, hot water and electricity. 65% of all private homes benefit from the energy recovery, but in the future we are forced to sort and reuse more plastics. Modern technology enables sorting of plastics and it is possible to sort bio-polymers so they can be composted and become part of the circularity - reborn as a bio-polymer
- There are multiple INZEA grades, all processable as standard plastics e.g. injection molding, extrusion, film and bottle blowing. The portfolio varies from grades, soft as PE, to stiff grades such as PS and nylon. The INZEA grades are food approved and NUREL can tailor make grades according to need. Further NUREL is SGS certified i.e. 100% of the production energy comes from renewable resources such as solar power and wind energy. This goes for their standard PA-range too.
- The INZEA applications cover widely from bio-bags to food packaging e.g bottles, coffee capsules, and cutlery, straws, diapers and 3D filaments not to mention medical items.
- Another of our partners, INEOS Olefins, has started to produce a range of sustainable Hybrid blends where they mix post-consumer recyclates with a booster resin to enhance the mechanical properties of the PCR. The grades are not approved for food but can be used for many packaging purposes e.g. bottles, caps, crates and films.
- The current portfolio of sustainable polymers from INEOS Olefins varies from high density PE to linear low-density PE and PP. The offering is still very limited and prices relatively high, but INEOS is in an early stage and further grades will be launched soon.
- LG Chem has picked up the ball too and launching sustainable grades for more technical applications. They produce flame and non-flame-retardant PC, reinforced and non-reinforced with recycle content varying from 30% to 85%.
- They also produce alloys and blends based on PC/ABS and PBT/PET flame and non-flame-retardant, reinforced and non-reinforced with various recycle content. Applications are mainly automotive and electronic parts such as laptops, speakers, office appliance, IT devices etc. including metal replacement.
- One of our newest partners, Tecnopol in Italy, produces glass- and mineral reinforced PP with respectively 30% and 100% PP recycling in black and natural. Almost all grades can be ECO certified and Tecnopol can tailor make products according to needs and color.
- The applications vary from chairs, garbage bins and toolboxes to technical items such as water connectors, nozzles and large automotive parts. Some of the parts have previously been produced in metal.
- That was a short overview of some of Biesterfeld‘s sustainable and green offering. We will see a lot more in the future as many customers and consumers demand green and sustainable solutions. That was it from my side for now
