BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – October 30, 2008 – In an effort to improve the air travel experience for customers, designers are looking for new ways to enhance comfort and ambiance in aircraft cabins.

La resina Valox iQ* di SABIC Innovative Plastics offre un’alternativa
BERGEN OP ZOOM, Paesi Bassi – 28 ottobre 2008 – Ogni giorno in Giappone dopo ogni pasto vengono gettate via milioni di bacchette monouso in legno nelle mense di scuole, uffici e in altri luoghi di ristorazione. Sanshin Kako, uno dei produttori leader di stoviglie da tavola ad uso professionale del paese, utilizza le resine di alta qualità Valox iQ* 420 HP di SABIC Innovative Plastics per fornire un prodotto più ecocompatibile che contribuisca alle tre "R": ridurre, riutilizzare e riciclare. Le bacchette in plastica di Sanshin Kako non solo conservano le risorse naturali, ma consentono che per ogni chilogrammo di questa resina vengano impiegati fino a 87 chilogrammi di bottiglie in polietilene tereftalato (PET) usate che altrimenti si accumulerebbero nelle discariche. Queste bacchette, disponibili in vivaci colori personalizzabili, vantano una superficie più liscia rispetto a quelle in legno che tendono a scheggiarsi, dimostrando l’impegno da parte di SABIC Innovative Plastics nel mettere a punto nuove tecnologie su scala globale che consentano ai propri clienti di vincere le sfide ecologiche contemporanee.
