Industrial application of carbon reduction PCR materials

Under the severe conditions of energy shortage and climate change, PCR has caught fire, and many end users have been at the forefront of "carbon reduction" under the trend of "carbon reduction", reducing the carbon content of their products from the source of materials.



Automobile industry

According to the data on the official website of the Passenger Car Market Information Association, starting from 2021, the sales proportion of new energy vehicles has increased, which indicates that the proportion of the Automotive industry market is tilted to the field of sustainable development under the guidance of various policies. Some automotive Oems are active, such as Volkswagen's commitment to become carbon neutral/green and zero emissions by 2050. Renault has pledged to reduce its CO2 emissions by 50% from 2010 levels and to become carbon neutral by 2050. Compared to cars, the total greenhouse gas emissions of electric vehicles over the life cycle of the vehicle are only half that of fuel vehicles.


Home Appliance industry

The home appliance industry has many products made of carbon-reducing materials. By recycling consumer electronics such as used hair dryers and vacuum cleaner parts, Electrolux has developed a vacuum cleaner made from 100% recycled and reused materials in 2020. For example, Google's new smart home products have a high content of recycled materials, including the Nest thermostat and smart speaker containing 75% and 70% recycled plastic, respectively. European white goods brand Beko practices harmony between people and nature, developing a series of Home Appliances, these products have about 15% of plastic parts from waste plastic.



OA industry

Not only the home appliance industry, OA industry also has a lot of mature products. For example, Microsoft's "carbon reduction" extends from the product itself to the packaging of the product, and the environmentally friendly wireless mouse they produce has 20% of the shell using Marine recycled plastic, and the packaging box is made of 100% recycled materials. In addition, 40% of Konica Minolta's printer housing comes from Kumho Ilri Ecoblend® PCR plastic. Coincidentally, Lenovo's new AIO520 desktop computer shell in 2021 also uses PCR plastic, it is worth mentioning that the shell material used in this desktop computer is both PCR plastic and plastic Cori ® aesthetic plastic. The plastic is injection molded once, which reduces carbon emissions during processing and is easy to recycle again.
