The Italian Recycled ABS Granule Conquers Brazil

The mastery of the production of Italian recycled technopolymers has been combined with the Brazilian production activity of technical articles which, until recently, were printed exclusively with virgin raw materials.

The conquest of the Brazilian market by ABS Italiano started from the assignment received from the consultancy firm Arezio Marco in the research and selection of producers of recycled technical polymers, who could guarantee production performances and technical and aesthetic qualities on the finished products, as well as a product made of virgin polymer.

The Arezio Marco consultancy company on recycled polymers carried out the task of selecting producers and verifying quality, through the collection of information on the sources of supply of post-industrial waste and on the granule production systems.

It followed the approval process of the chosen ABS product, in the form of granules , which went through preliminary physical and chemical analyses, small size sampling for laboratory molding tests and, subsequently, industrial sampling suitable for the production of a series of finished product samples to be sent for laboratory tests.

In addition to the mechanical characteristics tested, the finishing characteristics of the product were verified, with the analysis of the quality of the surfaces, the color and the degree of gloss required. Furthermore, the degree of odor that a recycled, post-industrial polymer could emit was tested.

The tests gave positive results , cataloging the ABS granule recycled from post-industrial waste as suitable for quality during the production phase and on the final product, thus being able to be authorized for in-line production.

The Italian recycled polymer, therefore, began to cross the Brazilian borders, allowing industrial consolidation between Italy and Brazil, promoting the circularity of the economy and the reduction of waste in the environment.
