A new grade of ARPRO offering recyclate content, which is said to result in no performance loss or additional cost has been announced by JSP. The first expanded polypropylene (EPP) of its kind, it uses 15% recycled ARPRO content allowing users to fulfil recycled-material strategies and still enjoy the same strength, durability and moulding characteristics. Recycled Grade ARPRO is expected to be popular in the automotive and packaging industries where legislation and increasing customer demand for more recycled materials already exists.
“The launch of this unique grade follows our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the pan-European certification of ARPRO production to ISO14001,” says Paul Compton, JSP’s president and CEO - Europe. “Furthermore, JSP has taken the novel decision not to charge a premium for the additional processing required. We want all our customers to embrace the material and become early adopters of what we predict to be a growing trend.”
To guarantee the recyclate material meets its stringent requirements, JSP will manage the recycling operation and is currently establishing collection points across Europe. Five strategically located sites in three European countries are already set up and JSP will be announcing further collection points over the next few weeks.
JSP is the world leader in the production and development of ARPRO, which is a source of strength, durability and weight reduction.
