Radici Novacips SpA has developed and published an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its Heramid post-industrial PA6 and PA6.6 engineering plastics and for its polyamide scrap recovery service.

Earlier Radici Novacips had obtained Environmental Product Declaration Process Certification for publishing EPDs for its PA6 and PA6.6 engineering plastics, Radilon S and Radilon A.

Now, Radici Novacips has measured and disclosed the environmental impact of both its Heramid post-industrial engineering plastics and its polyamide waste and scrap recovery service.

“The latter process produces the secondary raw material used in the production of Heramid products,” a press release from Radici Novacips informed.

It added that the new initiatives are further proof of RadiciGroup’s commitment to transparency on sustainability issues, specifically on matters of objective measurement and disclosure of environmental impact.

“We announced this important step last May, on the occasion of the Plast International Plastics and Rubber exhibition,” Cesare Clausi, Europe business manager of the RadiciGroup Plastics business area said.

”Now, we have officially concluded the compilation and publication of all the documentation and can make all the information available to our stakeholders, foremost, the market and our customers,” he added.

“This way they can view objective data regarding the environmental impact of our Heramid post-industrial engineering polymers,” Clausi observed.

Radici Novacips SpA has also measured the environmental impact of its polyamide scrap mechanical recovery service and is the first to do it scientifically and publish a related EPD.

“This means that we have assured data on the environmental impact of the secondary raw material used for the production of our Heramid line,” Clausi noted.

Heramid post-industrial PA6 and PA6.6 engineering plastics are used in automotive, electrical, electronics and industrial applications. (AR)
