Solvay partners with Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials to recycle end-of-life medical components<\/h1>\/ in E-News<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/header>\n<\/div><\/section>

Medical equipment made using Solvay\u2019s Udel high-performance polysulfone (PSU) thermoplastic will be recycled at the end of their useful lives in a new sustainability initiative that the company has embarked on with Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials (MCAM).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In line with Solvay\u2019s One Planet sustainability roadmap and Mitsubishi\u2019s KAITEKI vision designed to preserve resources and contribute to safer, cleaner and more sustainable products, both companies are currently investigating the implementation of logistics for recovery, recycling, and reprocessing of Udel PSU medical components, with the aim of recycled material being suitable for reuse in the original applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe agreement with Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials is the latest demon-stration of Solvay\u2019s commitment to help customers achieve ambitious sustainability targets,\u201d says Antonella Di Meo, Product Sustainability Manager at Solvay. \u201cIt is part of our long-term commitment to develop sustainable solutions from bio-based or recycled resources. With this project, we want to show, in a practical way, that it is possible to recycle high-value Udel PSU parts used in the medical field, yielding important savings in CO2 emissions along the production and supply chain.\u201d<\/p>\n

The project involves using a combination of the expertise developed by MCAM to wash and mechanically purify the material, together with Solvay’s ability to evaluate the chemistry of the end-of-life polymer, to develop a robust recycling strategy that will provide customers with materials that fully meet all specifications.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
