Our mission to build trust and incentivise the use of recycled materials

ecoloop – The mission to promote trust and incentivise the use of recycled materials.

ecoloop is a voluntary certification programme for producers, recyclers, processors and manufacturers of a wide range of products.

This certification demonstrates to their customers that their products contribute to the circular economy by using recycled materials.

All companies that have their products certified support the goal of increasing the demand for recycled materials and thus actively contribute to promoting the circular economy.

The objectives of ecoloop are:

to document the shared responsibility of raw material producers, recyclers, processors and manufacturers.

Building trust in products made from recycled materials.

Creating a common understanding of the use and benefits of recycled materials.

Contributing to the circular economy by promoting the use of recycled materials.

ecoloop pursues these goals as part of its mission to promote the sustainable use of resources and reduce environmental impact. The certification and cooperation of the companies involved raises awareness of the importance of the circular economy and makes an important contribution to protecting our environment.

De-polymerization Recycling Program

Using a process called de-polymerization we convert post-industrial nylon 6 waste back to its starting monomer, caprolactam, which can be used interchangeably with virgin caprolactam to make new nylon 6 polymers with recycled content. This is a fully integrated system that is capable of producing high quality polymers with varying levels of recycled content. Nylene Canada has been depolymerizing nylon 6 waste internally and from other sources around the world since 1966.

Resource Recovery Capabilities

We are uniquely equipped to take our customer’s regrind and other sources of alternative feed stock and return them to original quality. As manufactures of prime product, we can also blend material and additives to enhance performance of our customer’s products. This effort closes the product life cycle, and allows us to produce both environmentally friendly, cost advantaged products, as well as offer comparable quality virgin material equivalents.

RSH

The Draak family, entrepreneurs based in Hamburg/Germany, recognized the enormous potential of plastics recycling in the late 1950’s and began to specialize in processing clean manufacturing scrap purchased from plastics converters. Today RSH POLYMERE GmbH is a specialist for recycling and recompounding high-quality polymers and sells in-house manufactured recycle grades and recompounds used in extruded and injection-moulded products for wide-ranging applications in the automotive, construction , consumer goods and packaging industries.

By recycling plastics, RSH verifiably contributes to conservation and protection of finite natural resources today and for generations to come. When recycled, plastic scrap – instead of being incinerated or discarded in nature – is returned to a useful and sustainable utilization cycle.

The process recovers high-quality raw materials for reuse while at the same time avoiding substantial CO2 emissions. This has been proven and confirmed by assessments made in collaboration with an independent technical institute. Our regranulates and compounds replace virgin resins, thereby realizing emission savings of 83 – 93% CO2e as compared to the same weight of virgin stock.

These enormous savings help conserve natural resources and also highlight the importance of recycling on a widespread scale. This trend has been widely recognized by leading consumer goods and automotive manufacturers, many of which specify sustainability as a key criterion for contract awarding to their suppliers.
