DSM and Clariter pursue chemical recycling for Dyneema-based products

Royal DSM and Clariter have announced a strategic partnership to pursue a next-generation chemical recycling solution for products based on DSM’s Dyneema, an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber.

As a first step, sample products – including ropes, nets, and ballistic materials made with Dyneema – were successfully converted at Clariter’s pilot plant in Poland, demonstrating the recyclability potential of Dyneema and underlining the active commitment of DSM Protective Materials to sustainability.

In line with its sustainability targets, and following the successful launch of bio-based Dyneema (mass balance), DSM Protective Materials is pursuing reuse and recycling solutions for end-of-life Dyneema-based products.

DSM and Clariter partner to pursue chemical recycling solution for Dyneema-based end-products.

To drive technical recycling solutions, DSM Protective Materials and Clariter partnered to test the feasibility of using Dyneema as a feedstock in Clariter’s chemical recycling process. Sample products made with Dyneema were used in Clariter’s tests at its pilot plant in Poland.

The positive results confirm the technical viability of transforming Dyneema-based end-products into high-value, industrial grade, product families: oils, waxes, and solvents via Clariter’s patented 3-step chemical recycling process. These can be further used as ingredients to manufacture new end- and consumer products.

Moving forward, DSM Protective Materials and Clariter will continue to drive this initiative to shape a more sustainable world. Specifically, building on the success of the lab-scale trial, Clariter has scheduled commercial-scale trials at its facility in South Africa for 2021, with the aim to use Dyneema-derived feedstock in its full-scale European plants that will be built in the coming years.

In addition, DSM will continue to actively explore the possibilities of reducing the environmental impact of Dyneema across all product life stages.

Petra Koselka, Clariter Chief Operations Officer, said, “Looking at the logistics challenge to collect many tons of used marine ropes, nets, and ballistic materials is daunting. However, when an economical route presents itself, suddenly the next horizon seems within reach. We are pleased to work with DSM to perform R&D on what we have dubbed 'exciting exotics', and plan to use it as part of our raw materials in the full-scale plants we will build in Europe."

“Recyclability is key to us, our customers, and society at large and achieving it requires cross-value chain efforts. To this end, we’re looking forward to continue building our partnership with Clariter, and to continue using our science-based capabilities to deliver on our purpose of creating brighter lives for all,” Roeland Polet, President of DSM Protective Materials, added.
