Nexam Chemical has received the first patent in Reactive RecyclingT technology. The patent covers a method that makes it possible to better recycle and thus increase the use of recycled polypropylene. The method works great for mechanical recycling and will reduce the use of virgin plastic in the manufacture of new products.

With the help of reactive chemistry, Nexam Chemical can now improve the process properties of recycled polypropylene, one of the most common places in both packaging and technical products such as ice cream packages, bicycle helmets, car components and suitcases. The patent applies to Sweden and the process for corresponding patent protection in other countries is ongoing.
