Asahi Kasei Plastics Singapore Acquires ISCC Plus Certification – Production of Polyphenylene Ether (PPE) Using Biomass-derived Raw Material

Asahi Kasei Plastics Singapore Pte Ltd (APS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Asahi Kasei, a diversified Japanese multinational company, acquired the widely recognized international certification ISCC Plus1 for its polyphenylene ether (PPE) as a sustainable product on September 19, 2022. Production of PPE using biomass-derived raw material is scheduled to begin in January 2023.

PPE is an engineering plastic that is blended with other resins such as polystyrene and polyamide to form modified PPE (m-PPE). Asahi Kasei’s Xyrontm m-PPE is widely used in automotive parts, consumer electronics, and industrial products.

Xyrontm features several excellent characteristics which are expected to drive further demand growth especially in the field of the environment and energy. For example, leveraging its excellent electrical insulation and other electrical characteristics, Xyrontm is used in parts for photovoltaic power generation systems which operate at high voltage. These excellent properties also allow products to be made smaller, which contributes to resource conservation. Xyrontm is also used in
components of batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), which are rapidly becoming widespread. Its low specific gravity and flame-retardancy allow batteries to be made lighter, which contributes to increased range and lower CO2 emissions.

As awareness for the global environment and the importance of sustainability increase, Asahi Kasei has worked to further raise the environmental contribution of Xyrontm m-PPE by using recycled raw material and biomass raw material.

Under these circumstances, Asahi Kasei and APS sought to reduce CO2 emissions across the supply chain for Xyrontm m-PPE, and in September 2022, APS became the first PPE manufacturer in Asia2 to acquire ISCC Plus certification. The certification enables APS to produce and sell PPE using sus- tainable raw material assigned by the mass-balance method3. The production start is planned for Jan- uary 2023.

In order to contribute to carbon neutrality, Asahi Kasei is developing recycled grades of Xyrontm m-PPE which are made using recycled material and working together with customers to establish a recy-cling scheme. PPE is a material suitable for recycling as its chemical structure has excellent hydrolysis resistance, which suppresses the deterioration of physical properties. Asahi Kasei also developed and patented technology to extend the service life of Xyrontm m-PPE, which further suppresses the de-terioration of physical properties due to recycling.

The Asahi Kasei Group aims to be a global sustainable partner for its customers by contributing to the reduction of waste and CO2 emissions through the assignment of biomass in the PPE of its Xyrontm m-PPE by the mass-balance method, the development of products utilizing recycled material, and the establishment of a recycling scheme together with its customers.

Constantia Flexibles Invests for the Future

The world’s third-largest flexible packaging manufacturer is investing more than EUR 80 million in its Constantia Teich facility in Austria. The key elements are a new rolling mill and another lacquering line, allowing the group to capture growth opportunities in the aluminum market whilst securing the supply chain. This also represents a further investment in sustainability by lowering the CO2 footprint, powering the rolling mill with green electricity, and adding solar power generation.

“We continue to pursue our successful growth strategy with new state-of-the-art technology at our Teich factory,” says Pim Vervaat, CEO of Constantia Flexibles. With the new rolling capacity, Constantia Teich will produce a total of 90,000 tons (+30%) of aluminum foil in Austria in the future, making the company the largest integrated producer in Europe. By producing the foils at Constantia Teich, the carbon footprint is significantly lower than purchased foils from outside Europe. This will avoid over 100,000 tons of CO2 as a result. In addition to the positive impact on the eco-balance, the company can secure the supply chain through in-house production. “We are more independent and therefore more crisis-proof,” emphasizes Dr. Gerald Hummer, Executive Vice President of the Aluminum Division. The foils will be manufactured using high-end primary materials from Constantia Flexibles’ established European partners. An ever-increasing proportion of material comes from recycled secondary aluminum as the company is paying more attention to achieving a closed loop.

The investment in the foil production facility includes a complete expansion package, which also covers structural and infrastructural measures. Constantia Flexibles’ largest plant will be further expanded by investing in a rolling mill, a slitting line, annealing furnaces, and expanding the existing high-bay warehouse. The project will start in the fall of 2022. The start of commercial production is expected in spring 2025. Production will be primarily for high-end packaging in the pet food, food, pharmaceutical, and coffee segments.

In addition, Constantia Flexibles aims to increase capacity in strategic growth areas, such as coffee capsules, and thus invested in another lacquering machine and ancillary equipment. On the roof of some of the buildings, solar panels measuring several thousand square meters will be installed.

Comexi Solutions Reduce the Energy Consumption of Flexo Press By Up to 40%

Some solutions are included in the developments of GeniusTech: the increased drying performance of GeniusDry, and the consume control of Genius Energy

The exorbitant price increase of electricity and raw materials that reduce business margins to a minimum, as well as new and restrictive European laws to reduce energy consumption, are some of the concerns that currently affect most companies, both those located in Europe and worldwide. Comexi is not oblivious to these challenges. To benefit its customers, the company consciously offers solutions that reduce the energy consumption of flexographic press by up to 40%.

Some of these answers are included in the developments of GeniusTech, a set of technological solutions designed to meet the challenges of flexographic printing: the increased drying performance of GeniusDry, and the consume control of Genius Energy.

GeniusDry is a mechatronic solution to improve the efficiency of the drying system. It combines software that adapts the system to the actual job requirements with new intercolor and tunnel nozzles. GeniusDry has three operating modes (LO-MI-HI) depending on job characteristics in order to optimize energy consumption, air flow to exhaust and solvent concentration. The various functional modes regulate the flow rate by altering the fan speed and recirculation valve opening. Although new machines are significantly more energy efficient, retrofits of this solution arepossible on older machines.

Genius Energy provides information related to the operable energy used for a specific job. This information is obtained by adding required measurement devices, such as flowmeters, temperature sensors, among others, for various prerequisite energies. Additionally, a specific software that makes all related calculations is included as well.

Comexi consciously creates these improvements to benefit customers, and searches for solutions to address the real problems they encounter.

“Recyclates Are Still Banned From Many Food Packaging Products Today”

“Recyclates Are Still Banned From Many Food Packaging Products Today”

Interview with Gerold Schley, CEO Battenfeld Cincinnati

Mr. Schley, is the use of plastics likely to increase or decrease in the long run?
It always depends on the individual application area. There will certainly be consolidation in the packaging sector. We suspect that the trend will be towards mono-material packaging. In addition, we assume that a closed material cycle will also be established for polypropylene, similar to the one already in place for Pet. This means that other plastics that are still contained in packaging today will be dispensed with. In other industrial sectors on the other hand, there is likely to be an increase in the use of plastics; in the pipe sector, for example. This will then be at the expense of other materials, such as concrete or copper. The energy turnaround will not be feasible either, without using a lot of plastic. And water management, which will be a dominant issue in the coming years, is also difficult to imagine without plastics. Take drip irrigation for example, which isn’t feasible without

The circular economy for plastics is picking up pace. How is your company responding to this development?
We have been involved with the circular economy for years, as have our customers. We have started and implemented various development projects of our own. This has led to some of our machine concepts being completely redesigned so that closed-loop material can be processed. Meanwhile, we offer a wide range of machines and systems that are suitable for closed-loop recycling.

Which of your customer groups is particularly involved in the use of recycled materials?
I can only speak about the industries we work with. There is hardly anyone who isn’t involved in the circular economy. No matter what industry, no matter what country, almost all of our customers deal with recyclate processing. Requests are piling up. Energy saving has also become a huge issue and has even intensified in the current situation of rapidly rising electricity prices.

What causes your customers the biggest problems?
There are, I believe, three major problems to be solved. One is that there is not enough recycled material available on the market. This has been talked about for years, but not much has happened. Circulation chains should finally be closed so that more recycled goods are available. Secondly, the recycled material that is available is much more expensive than virgin material. This cost disadvantage reduces the incentive for processors to use recyclates. Finally, there are still regulations that make the increased use of recyclates very difficult. The use of recycled materials is prohibited for many types of food packaging to this day. It is now up to legislators to act. They must create the necessary framework conditions so that recycled materials can also be used in this field. Technologically, it is already feasible today to utilise recycled materials in food packaging that ultimately meet the same requirements in terms of product safety, hygiene etc. The problem, however, is that it is not permitted.

To what extent does Battenfeld-Cincinnati use digitalisation solutions?
We are convinced that sustainable production is only possible with corresponding digitalisation. That’s why we already presented our new digital control system at K 2016. We have continuously developed it further so that we can provide solutions that are capable of offering enhanced support for users when operating the system. What used to be entered manually is now done digitally. The focus was and is to increase reproducibility of the processes, reducing the use of materials and also making the entire operation of the plant more intuitive.

What is the future of the circular economy?
It will continue to pick up pace, but people will have to understand the value of plastic. Maybe you also have to make it more valuable. With the Pet bottle, you can see that collection becomes successful when the empty bottle is allocated a value. This will lead to a large amount of recyclate and thus a high degree of reusability. In short, the circular chains simply have to be closed. We always talk a lot, but there is not a lot actually happening, which is partly due to a a great deal of uncertainty among consumers. What goes into the recycling bag and what doesn’t? This still varies from one district to another. If we remove all the obstacles that still exist and everyone acts in the same manner, I think the circular economy will be established quite quickly. We have no other choice, considering the environment. Technologically, it is all feasible.

The Indian Market Has Become the Largest Single Market Overseas for Yizumi HPM

Yizumi Invested Rs. 200 Corers to expand their business in India

Strengthening development in the Indian market to help achieve Yizumi HPM’s global strategic objectives.

As we all know, India and China are two of the largest developing countries in the world and are very similar in many ways. Both countries have brilliant historical and cultural heritage. Both have a population of more than 1.3 billion. Many believe that China’s today will be India’s tomorrow.
As a modern material with many properties, plastics play an irreplaceable role in the industry, agriculture, and consumer field. In recent years, India’s plastic machinery and equipment market has expanded rapidly.

India’s plastics consumption has been growing at 16% every year, well above China’s 10% and the UK’s 2.5%, making it one of the fastest-growing countries in the plastics industry. However, India’s plastic machinery market currently remains at a very low level, mismatched with its population size and economic level.

When confronted with this huge plastics market, an earlier market deployment will help you to seize more opportunities. As an important injection molding machine manufacturer in the industry, Yizumi HPM has made a very wise decision to immerse itself in the Indian market and build a strong business foundation for its marketing, service, and production technology.

Remarkable result: Yizumi HPM’s India factory has manufactured and sold 1400 injection molding machines.

Yizumi HPM has leased industrial space to manufacture and sell injection molding machines in India since 2017. Yizumi HPM India factory is an injection molding machine manufacturer offering design, production, sales, and customer services. Based on hiring local management, sales, production, and technical personnel, the enterprise has copied the management model of Yizumi HPM headquarters and implemented the entire system of Yizumi HPM headquarters including quality control and product delivery management in the Indian factory to ensure quality and rapid delivery of injection molding machines made in India.

In its first year of operation, the value of Yizumi HPM India factory shipment exceeded Rs 400 million. In 2021, despite the severe pandemic situation in India, the sales of Yizumi HPM injection molding machines in the Indian market grow rapidly and are projected to double by end of the year. By January 2022, Yizumi HPM India factory has produced and sold 1,500 injection molding machines. The Indian market has emerged as the largest overseas single market for Yizumi HPM.

The rapid business development of the Yizumi HPM India factory represents the strong competitiveness of the Yizumi HPM injection molding machines. Yizumi HPM’s injection molding machines deliver the design and quality comparable to the machines made in U.S. and European countries while offering great cost advantages. With positive market feedback, Yizumi HPM’s machines have established a great reputation on the market, continuously receiving purchase orders from both new customers and existing customers.

Aiming at the Indian market, Yizumi HPM launched comprehensive and systematic field research. Data indicate that India’s current level of plastic consumption is far lower than that of China and developed countries in Europe and the United States while the demand for the mainstream consumer goods, such as automobiles, home appliances, and 3C is strong. The production needs to be unleashed to release its potential.

In view of the characteristics of the Indian market, the market and technical teams from Yizumi HPM demonstrated their capacities in program implementation. They quickly developed the machine configurations for the Indian market and wide platen machine series specifically specially designed for Indian customers. Yizumi HPM’s three-platen machines, high-speed packaging system, and the full series of two-platen machines have achieved very good sales performance in the Indian market.

Acquire land To construct a smart digital precision production base
As the business of the Yizumi HPM India factory expanded, the capacity of the leased plant became unable to fulfill the rapid-growing market demand and constrained its development pace in India. Given its firm confidence in the continued development in the Indian market, with its strategic global industrial layout in mind, Yizumi HPM acquired a lot in Gujarat to build its own modern plant.

The new plant is located in the GIDC Industrial Park in Gujarat state, adjacent to Mitsubishi Electric and covering an area of 80,000 square meters. When fully completed, the annual output is expected to be 10 billion rupees. The current first phase construction has an annual production capacity of approximately 5 billion rupees. Using the factory requirements of Yizumi HPM headquarters as the reference, the design and construction of the new plant in India adopt the highest standards to build an intelligent, digital, precision modern advanced production base.

The first phase of the plant construction is progressing well. The primary frame of the building is nearly completed. The design and bidding process for water and power supply, as well as equipment configuration, are also completed. Orderly conduct of works is pushed forward as planned. The plant is expected to be operational by the first half of 2022. By then, equipped with advanced production equipment and management concepts, Yizumi HPM India factory will provide customers in the Indian market with better product quality and shorter delivery time, taking its business to the next level.

Yizumi HPM India factory will continue to focus on customer service and product quality to achieve excellence in all aspects. Externally, the company adopts a customer-oriented business approach, striving to provide customers with better pre-sales and after-sales service to increase customer confidence in buying and using Yizumi HPM’s machinery. Internally, it will continue to strengthen the management infrastructure to ensure product quality, timely delivery, and market competitiveness.

Because of India’s geographical location, upon completion, the factory will be able to supply the surrounding countries after fulfilling customer demand in India and drive the market expansion of Yizumi HPM injection molding machines in South Asia, Central Asia, and Africa.

In recent years, Yizumi HPM’s global layout strategy has been making steady progress, with the completion of the German R&D center, Vietnamese subsidiary, and French spare parts center. The acquisition of a larger lot in India for its higher standard intelligent manufacturing base is Yizumi HPM’s largest investment project in overseas markets to date, representing another solid step forward in its global layout implementation.

As the pivot point of Yizumi HPM’s global strategy, the India factory is a positive, forward-thinking example of this strategy. The successful experience of Yizumi HPM’s India factory may also be copied to many more new plants of Yizumi HPM and contribute to the success of Yizumi HPM’s globalization objectives.
