The brand manufactures polypropylene and polyethylene utilising partners’ capacities.
In the future, the product line will be expanded with PET and other products.
Secondary polymers have a great recycling potential and can be reused up to 10 times or more.
When used to manufacture end products, they help reduce the environmental footprint:
- by 2050, recycling of the world’s polymer waste will cut down GHG emissions by 1.6 bt
The new brand will bring together solutions for blow moulding, injection moulding and production of heat shrink film.
At this stage, the average share of recycled polymers in the Vivilen solutions will account for some 25% of the end product depending on its type.
Sergey Komyshan, SIBUR’s Executive Director, said:
- Vivilen is unique for the Russian market as it follows the environmental trend and satisfies the growing demand for the use of recycled materials
- Through Vivilen, our partners embracing innovation will not just get granules with new properties, but a full-fledged platform to respond to the public demand for green solutions and achieve their own sustainable development goals
New polymer grades were developed by SIBUR’s R&D Polylab facility and tested by processing companies.
The company has already started to supply new solutions on an industrial scale and is going to ramp up its output going forward into 2H 2021.
