Recycled Polymers
Product Family
SCS-certified recycled polymer grades
We provide recycled polymer grades certified through an independent certification provided by SCS Global Services. We guarantee that our recycled high-performance materials contain a certified minimum recycled content and have properties equivalent to or higher than virgin materials.
Arkema obtained its recertification of our enlarged certified recycled range from SCS Global Services in June 2024. More than 25 references were certified for recycled content by SCS Global Services after conducting a thorough eligibility audit of our production and suppliers. Our certified recycled offer, part of our Virtucycle® program, covers PA11, PA12 and PEBA containing 30% to 95% minimum recycled content.
Certified Recycled Materials Portfolio
Our SCS-certified recycled content materials represent the gold standard in Advanced Bio Circular Materials. We provide High performance and innovative materials with guaranteed properties, equivalent to or higher than virgin materials. And thanks to the low energy consumption of mechanical recycling realized at our Agiplast Recycling Center, using only renewable energy, the carbon footprint of our Certified Recycled Materials from the Virtucycle® program helps our customers reduce the impact of their final product.
Agimid® PA11, PA12 and Peba
Agimid® PA11, PA12 and PEBA, are recycled high-performance thermoplastics. This high-performance recycled material features high-temperature resistance along with great chemical, physical, high ageing, and abrasion resistance. Agimid® PA11, PA12 and PEBA are designed for a variety of applications in extrusion and injection molding technologies.
Agitech™ PVDF material
Agitech™ PVDF (PolyVinyliDene Fluoride) recycled grades are the material of choice for their unmatched high chemical resistance to fuel and hydrolysis along with their high flame resistance. PVDF from recycled sources is compatible with high-demanding applications such as tubes, cables and semi-finished products.
Agiplast Recycling Facility
Our Virtucycle® Recycling program is dedicated to collecting and recycling high-performance materials. The collected materials are recycled in the Agiplast plant using 100% renewable energy.
Upon delivery to our Agiplast facility, the raw materials undergo a meticulous analysis to fine-tune the detailed composition of the recycled material. We have a team of dedicated material scientists who run a series of analyses before the materials go through the recycling process.
