Expanded Sustainable Portfolio of PVC Resins
INEOS Inovyn’s two new products are Neovyn, with a 37% lower carbon footprint and Recovyn, made from 100% recycled carbon feedstock.
Two new PVCs have been launched by with a reduced carbon footprint and increased recycled content.
Neovyn is a new PVC with a reduced carbon footprint that is 37% lower than the European industry average for suspension PVC (reduced to 1.3 kg CO2 per kg PVC). Neovyn will be produced from the many sustainable initiatives that INEOS Inovyn is pursuing, such as an increased access to renewable energy, process electrification and the production and use of renewable hydrogen. It is expected to become the new low carbon footprint standard enabling converters to progress on their carbon roadmap by reducing their Scope 3 emissions and offer low carbon footprint products to their customers.
Recovyn is a new product range that increases recycling and circularity and reduces plastic waste that is not currently mechanically recycled. This product is made from 100% recycled carbon feedstock and is designed for customers who want to increase their recycled content and meet high technical, quality and regulatory requirements.
