Over 100 million PET bottles upcycled into SABIC’s PBT materials

Since the introduction of LNP ELCRIN iQ materials in late 2019, SABIC has helped divert more than 100 million single-use 16.9 oz. PET water bottles from landfills and incinerators.

This portfolio of globally available polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) materials is produced from post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) water bottles through a unique chemical upcycling process.

SABIC has recently completed a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) comparing virgin PBT and LNP ELCRIN iQ resin, which underwent third-party critical review in accordance with ISO 14040/14044 standards. Results indicated that LNP ELCRIN iQ resin lowered global warming impact by 29% and cut cumulative energy demand by 43% compared to virgin PBT.

More than 100 million single-use PET water bottles have been upcycled into SABIC’s LNP ELCRIN iQ materials.

LNP ELCRIN iQ resins also show favorable LCA results compared to data for other virgin base resins, such as polyamide (PA) 6,6 and PA6, extracted from Plastics Europe Eco-Profiles.

“Our innovative LNP ELCRIN iQ materials help address environmental megatrends such as the circular economy and the reduction of plastic waste to benefit customers and society at large,” said Joshua Chiaw, Director, Business Management, LNP & NORYL, SABIC.

To provide independent verification of recycled content and responsible sourcing practices, SABIC engaged SCS Global Services (SCS), a leader in third-party environmental, sustainability, food safety and quality certifications, to audit the processes used to source and manufacture its LNP ELCRIN iQ resins.

These certificates are conveniently posted on the SCS Certified Green Products Guide. The responsible sourcing certification, which covers multiple LNP ELCRIN iQ products, attests to SABIC’s focus on environmental impacts across the entire value chain.

“SABIC is focused on helping customers achieve their sustainability goals by providing plastic materials that support circularity without sacrificing the mechanical performance, chemical resistance or colorability required for the end use product,” stated Maureen MacDonald-Stein, Director, Growth OEM & Markets, SABIC.
