After two months of case collection and half a month of online voting, the expert review of the "3rd Plastic Recycling and Recycling Golden Apple Award" hosted by Waste Plastics New Watch has been successfully completed. Through reviewing the application materials and listening to the report, the participating experts conducted in-depth, meticulous, strict and serious discussion and scoring from the three aspects of environmental benefits, commercial benefits and innovation status, and Topcentral® stood out from nearly 50 participating products, and won the award again after winning the "Golden Apple Award" for plastic recycling in 2021.
The "Golden Apple Award" for plastic recycling is known as the "Oscar Award" of the plastic recycling industry. The "Golden Apple Award" aims to recognize domestic enterprises that have made efforts and changes for industry progress, innovation and environmental protection, and enhance the global influence of Chinese enterprises‘ recyclable plastic products, technologies and people. Winning this award is a full affirmation and encouragement for Topcentral® to adhere to the concept of environmental protection and plastic reduction, take the road of sustainable development with the support of leading innovation.
High quality 100% PCR zero carbon recycled ABS material
At present, 70% of waste plastics are landfilled and incinerated, and only 30% are recycled, and the vast majority of recycled plastics cannot meet the market demand for post-consumer recycled plastics (PCR). According to authoritative statistics, China produces a huge amount of ABS usage every year, and the cumulative apparent consumption of ABS plastics in China in 2021 will reach 6 million tons, However, no enterprise can effectively integrate the efficient recycling, high-quality recycling and standardized mass production of waste ABS plastic resources, because of this, Topcentral® established a high-quality 100% PCR zero-carbon recycled ABS material application research and industrialization project team, in order to solve the industry‘s pain points through technological innovation.
This project establishes classification standards by using precision identification technology to accurately identify hazardous substances and identify the advantages and disadvantages of performance; As well as technological innovation in the two dimensions of high-value regeneration technology, optimizing and designing new chain extenders, realizing high-quality regeneration of materials, and comprehensive performance reaching or even surpassing the two dimensions of new materials, the first time in the field of global polymer materials has achieved 100% PCR zero-carbon IBISS ®rABS®functional modification technology. 100% PCR zero-carbon food grade IBISS®rABS and high-performance, high-stability, green and low-carbon health and environmental protection BPA Free IBISS®rABS is certified by the authoritative organization TUV, which reduces carbon emissions by 83.21% compared with native ABS, and adopts carbon forest sink and green trading to finally achieve zero carbon emissions, and then provide zero-carbon product system solutions for global strategic partners.
Topcentral® has always been committed to promoting the sustainable development of the recycled plastic industry chain from the source of recycling to the end consumer, connecting the industrial chain with digital and innovative technologies to make it more efficient, more environmentally friendly and sustainable, and a number of classic cases have been widely used so far. Whether it is the high-quality 100% zero-carbon series of IBISS®rABS®materials that won the "Golden Apple Award", the subsequent deep processing to prepare consumer goods such as high-end beauty brands, or through the recycling, pretreatment and deep processing of waste PET, the final high-performance, high-functional, high-value-added environmentally friendly halogen-free flame retardant reinforced rPETBLend™ high-end functional modified materials, and to solve the environmental pollution problem caused by "white pollution", Topcentral® has adopted blockchain and cloud computing , big data and other digital technologies combined with advanced material recycling technology to recycle, pre-treat and deep process waste PET, and finally obtain Polyethylene terephthlate™ TC-Rester®rPET particles and its high-end functional modified materials, all of which show Topcentral® strong R&D strength and excellent innovation ability.
At present, the "dual carbon" goal puts forward higher requirements for plastic recycling and industrial upgrading, and Topcentral® has been actively exploring in related fields. We achieve carbon neutrality from cradle to gate through carbon footprint tracking, carbon accounting, carbon emissions, carbon forest sinks and carbon trading of the entire recycled material, creating a closed-loop application of recycled plastics. The products from Topcentral® meet the requirements of many international certifications and regulations such as SCS GLOBAL, UL, GRS, TUV, etc., and have obtained the product carbon neutrality certification issued by TÜV Rheinland, so as to realize the high-value recycling of waste plastics.
In order to support the country‘s commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, Topcentral® will take the "Golden Apple Award" as an opportunity to continue to deeply implement the concept of sustainable development, continuously launch new measures for the recycling of recycled materials, and give full play to Topcentral® role as a benchmark and demonstration in the industry.
