NGR facilitates closed production loop of wood cellulose-based plastic

Source:Adsale Plastics Network Date :2020-06-05 Editor :JK

Woodly Ltd, a Finnish start-up company which develops wood-based, transparent, carbon-neutral plastic, had previously generated international media attention by redesigning plastics. Now Woodly has demonstrated the recyclability of its products with the help of plastic recycling machines from Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen GmbH (NGR).

 

According to the European Strategy for Plastics (2018), by 2030 all plastics packaging placed on the EU market must be either reusable or easily recyclable. Woodly Ltd’s commercial product – also known as Woodly – is a new type of plastic based on wood cellulose.  The material has been designed to be recyclable with existing plastic recycling technology, which has now been verified.

“Recycling Woodly material from film to granules was easy and the granules were of high clarity. From the recycled Woodly granules, a clear, 20-micrometer thin cast film could be produced in our lab under typical polyolefin processing conditions and extruder settings,” says NGR’s Development & Process Technology Engineer, Dr. Peter Hierzenberger.

 

The CTO of Woodly, Martta Asikainen, is delighted with the well-run pilot experiment: "Our goal is to reduce the need for fossil feedstock as well as for virgin material. With NGR we have found a reliable partner for recycling, with whom we will be glad to expand the collaboration."

 

Despite of of the COVID-19 pandemic, Woodly is still planning to launch the innovate material during this year in various packaging applications.
