Award Sub-Category: Plastic Upcycling

As part of a new effort to advance the use of recycled ocean plastic, SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, and Microsoft Corporation have collaborated to create Microsoft’s first consumer electronic product – The Microsoft Ocean Plastic Mouse – with an exterior shell containing 20% recycled ocean plastic (OP).

iMFLUX is transforming the future of plastic injection molding by improving quality and lowering cost, scrap and downtime. Auto Viscosity Adjust (AVA™) adapts to changing conditions including highly variable post consumer recycle/resin (PCR). AVA provides this sustainability solution at scale, which is unavailable in conventional molding.

REVOLOOP™ Resins create a second life for plastic waste that would otherwise end in landfills, incinerators, or litter in oceans and the environment. We set an unprecedented standard for recycled plastics in sustainable, up-cycled applications (clear packaging films, artificial turf, blow molded bottles, etc.) to stop the waste and close the loop.
