First food-grade PET (polyethylene terephthalate) made with 25 per cent chemically recycled plastic
科威特，2020年1月23日 - 以突破性的创新向前发展，以帮助满足全球增加使用化学回收宠物的需求；等价组今天宣布生产第一个成功的Viridis 25. Viridis 25是一种由Equienopolymers（EQP）的新食品级聚对苯二甲酸酯（PET），它最多可用于化学回收的PET作为原料，从而大大降低了宠物对处女宠物的需求，从而帮助关闭循环经济中的循环。
As part of their sustainability strategy, EQP started this innovative project in 2009 to make use of more recycled PET, the basis of most plastic beverage bottles. They began with Viridis 10, a PET grade containing up to 10% recycled PET, but, in 2016, EQP advanced to the V25 project in collaboration with a major brand owner to increase the amount of recycled material in its PET.
Equate Group高级副总裁Naser Aldousari表示：“我们继续进步，以降低世界一流的制造设施降低碳足迹，并生产25％的化学回收宠物是一个重要的里程碑。”“这是石化和商业商业社区之间的合作努力，因此Viridis 25将具有深远的环境，社会和商业福利。”
Viridis 25 is now available in the market through the EQUATE Group’s subsidiary EQUIPOLYMERS and will primarily target the European market.
Muayad Al-Faresi, Global Business Director, PET at EQP said, “There is strong demand for PET bottles, and our mission is to provide a sustainable product that meets quality of life and public health needs. Chemical recycling technology has opened new horizons for the plastic industry, enabling us to address the increasing environmental impact and waste concerns in a sensible and sustainable way. EQP has tapped into this opportunity, making it a focus area to foster future innovation.”
