Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp. BV, a wholly owned subsidiary of Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp. USA has received its first order for its newly created Infinymer NSL. The company recently had the opportunity to treat the complete mixed plastic scrap coming from household waste and create through its Blendymer Technology a solid polyolefinic compound.
Jacques Mot, president and CEO, Plastinum said, "We have been very positively surprised that we have been able to produce in such a short period a product coming from a different waste stream than WEEE. This opens up for the company a new potential in a different market segment coming from a different waste stream. We will herewith enable recycling of scrap that today is almost completely land filled or incinerated. This market segment is by definition the largest plastic scrap stream available worldwide. Plastinum is also in the process to secure large supplies of this scrap source through collaboration with several international waste processing companies. Plastinum anticipates announcing shortly the first secured supply.
