FROM AN EMPTY BOTTLE TO A HIGH-TECH FOAM
The impact of plastic on our ecosystem is undisputed. Every second more than 16,000 plastic bottles are sold worldwide. Less than 50% of these bottles are collected for recycling, and only 7% go to make new PET bottles. The majority of plastic bottles ends up in a landfill or our environment, where plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose.
Now is the time to encourage innovative entrepreneurship in production methods and product solutions designed to boost sustainability and the circular economy. The latter involves switching from a linear 'make-takedispose' economy to a circular model based on 'reduce, reuse and recycle'. An economy in which waste and pollution are designed out, products and materials are kept in use longer and natural systems regenerated. Both the UN and the EU have launched circular economy initiatives. This macro level effort is being matched by initiatives at the micro level of companies, NGOs and citizen action groups.
THE ECO CIRCLE
During the post-consumer life-cycle of the plastic bottle,
Over the past decades, fibre-reinforced composites have proven their worth as weight-saving structures that deliver energy efficiency, durability, functionality and cost effectiveness over the long term. In transportation applications, for example, fibre-reinforced composite sandwich panels are utilised to lower weight. Less weight on a train, boat, bus or anything else that moves is directly correlated to higher energy efficiency. The lighter a vehicle is, the less energy consumed.
Today, the sustainability of the individual component is becoming a compelling argument in the materials selection process. The trend of designing environmentally-friendly composite structures which are light, strong and recyclable has led industrial designers, specifiers and composite manufacturers to accelerate the substitution of conventional core materials such as Balsa, SAN, PUR or PVC with our PET foam cores.
