Kuyesetsa kwa Azek Co. Inc. ku Chicago kugwiritsa ntchito PVC yobwezerezedwanso m'zinthu zake zokongoletsedwa ndikuthandizira makampani a vinilu kukwaniritsa zolinga zopangitsa kuti zinthu zopangidwa ndi pulasitiki yogwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri zisatayike.
Ngakhale kuti 85 peresenti ya PVC yogula kale ndi mafakitale, monga zotsalira, zokanidwa ndi zochepetsera, zimagwiritsidwanso ntchito ku US ndi Canada, 14 peresenti yokha ya katundu wa PVC wogula pambuyo pake, monga vinyl pansi, zitsulo zam'mbali ndi zofolera, zimasinthidwa. .
Kusowa kwa misika yomaliza, malo ochepa obwezeretsanso zinthu zobwezerezedwanso komanso kusagwira bwino ntchito kosonkhanitsira zonse zimathandizira kuti pakhale chiwopsezo chachikulu chotayirapo malo apulasitiki omwe ali pachitatu padziko lonse lapansi ku US ndi Canada.
Kuti athane ndi vutoli, Vinyl Institute, bungwe lazamalonda lochokera ku Washington, ndi Vinyl Sustainability Council akupangitsa kuti kuyimitsa malo otayirako kukhale patsogolo.Maguluwa akhazikitsa cholinga chochepa chowonjezera kukonzanso kwa PVC kwa ogula ndi 10 peresenti pamlingo wa 2016, womwe unali mapaundi 100 miliyoni, pofika 2025.
Kuti izi zitheke, bungweli likuyang'ana njira zowonjezerera kusonkhanitsa katundu wa PVC pambuyo pa ogula, mwina popanga ma voliyumu pamalo okwerera magalimoto omwe amanyamula katundu wolemera mapaundi 40,000;kuyitanitsa opanga zinthu kuti awonjezere zomwe zasinthidwanso za PVC;ndikupempha osunga ndalama ndi opereka ndalama kuti akulitse makina obwezeretsanso makina kuti asanthule, kutsuka, kuphwanya ndi kupukuta.
"Monga makampani, tapita patsogolo kwambiri pakubwezeretsanso PVC ndi mapaundi oposa 1.1 biliyoni omwe amapangidwanso chaka chilichonse. Timazindikira kuti n'zotheka komanso kukwera mtengo kwa ntchito yobwezeretsanso pambuyo pa mafakitale, koma zambiri ziyenera kuchitidwa pambali ya ogula, " A Jay Thomas, wamkulu wa Vinyl Sustainability Council, adatero mu webinar yaposachedwa.
Thomas anali m'modzi mwa olankhula pa webinar ya Vinyl Recycling Summit, yomwe idayikidwa pa intaneti pa Juni 29.
Azek ikuthandiza kutsogolera njira yamakampani a vinilu ndikupeza $18.1 miliyoni ya Ashland, Ohio-based Return Polymers, obwezeretsanso ndi kuphatikiza PVC.Wopanga sitimayo ndi chitsanzo chabwino cha kampani yomwe ikupeza bwino pogwiritsa ntchito zinthu zobwezerezedwanso, malinga ndi bungweli.
M'chaka chandalama cha 2019, Azek adagwiritsa ntchito mapaundi opitilira 290 miliyoni azinthu zobwezerezedwanso m'mabodi ake, ndipo akuluakulu amakampani akuyembekeza kuti achulukitse ndalamazo ndi 25 peresenti mchaka cha 2020, malinga ndi zomwe Azek's IPO prospectus.
Return Polymers imakulitsa luso la Azek lobwezeretsanso m'nyumba kudutsa mzere wake wa TimberTech Azek decking, Azek Exteriors trim, Versatex cellular PVC trim ndi zida za pepala za Vycom.

Return Polymers ndi 38th-large recycler ku North America, kuthamanga mapaundi 80 miliyoni a PVC, malinga ndi zina za Plastics News kusanja deta.Pafupifupi 70 peresenti ya izo zimachokera ku post-industrial ndi 30 peresenti kuchokera kuzinthu zogulitsa pambuyo.
Return Polymers amapanga zosakanikirana za PVC polima kuchokera ku 100 peresenti zobwezerezedwanso zomwe zimafanana ndi momwe opanga zida zachikhalidwe amagwiritsira ntchito zopangira.Bizinesiyo ikupitilizabe kugulitsa kwa makasitomala akunja pomwe ikukhalanso wothandizirana ndi eni ake atsopano Azek.
"Ndife odzipereka kuti tifulumizitse kugwiritsa ntchito zipangizo zobwezerezedwanso. Ndicho maziko a omwe ife tiri ndi zomwe timachita, " Ryan Hartz, wachiwiri kwa pulezidenti wa Azek wofufuza, adatero pa webinar."Timagwiritsa ntchito gulu lathu la sayansi ndi R&D kuti tipeze momwe tingagwiritsire ntchito zinthu zobwezerezedwanso komanso zokhazikika, makamaka PVC ndi polyethylene."
Kwa Azek, kuchita zabwino ndikugwiritsa ntchito pulasitiki yosinthidwanso, Hartz anawonjezera, ndikuzindikira kuti 80 peresenti yazinthu zomwe zili mumatabwa ake ndi mizere yamtundu wa PE ya TimberTech-brand imasinthidwanso, pomwe 54 peresenti ya zokongoletsera zake za polima zimasinthidwanso PVC.
Poyerekeza, Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co. Inc. akuti ma desiki ake amapangidwa kuchokera ku 95 peresenti yobwezeretsedwa yamatabwa ndi filimu ya PE yokonzedwanso.
Ndi $ 694 miliyoni pakugulitsa pachaka, Trex ndi North America's No. 6 pipe, profile and chubing producer, malinga ndi masanjidwe a Plastic News.
Trex imanenanso kuti kusowa kwa njira zosonkhanitsira moyenera kumalepheretsa kuti zinthu zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito zisagwiritsidwenso ntchito kumapeto kwa moyo wawo.
"Pamene ntchito zophatikizika zikuchulukirachulukira komanso mapulogalamu osonkhanitsira akupangidwa, Trex ayesetsa kuchita zonse zomwe angathe kupititsa patsogolo mapulogalamuwa," atero a Trex mu lipoti lake lokhazikika.
"Zambiri mwazinthu zathu zimatha kugwiritsidwanso ntchito kumapeto kwa moyo wawo wothandiza, ndipo tikufufuza njira zonse zomwe zingatithandize kuti tikwaniritse ntchito yathu yobwezeretsanso," adatero Hartz.
Mizere itatu yopangira zida za Azek ndi TimberTech Azek, yomwe imaphatikizapo zosonkhanitsa za PVC zotchedwa Harvest, Arbor ndi Vintage;TimberTech Pro, yomwe imaphatikizapo PE ndi matabwa opangidwa ndi matabwa otchedwa Terrain, Reserve ndi Legacy;ndi TimberTech Edge, yomwe imaphatikizapo PE ndi zida zamatabwa zotchedwa Prime, Prime + ndi Premier.
Azek yakhala ikuyika ndalama zambiri pakukulitsa luso lake lobwezeretsanso kwa zaka zingapo.Mu 2018, kampaniyo idawononga $ 42.8 miliyoni pa katundu ndi mbewu ndi zida kuti ikhazikitse malo ake obwezeretsanso PE ku Wilmington, Ohio.Malowa, omwe adatsegulidwa mu Epulo 2019, amasintha mabotolo a shampoo, mitsuko yamkaka, mabotolo ochapira zovala ndi zokutira pulasitiki kukhala chinthu chomwe chimakhala ndi moyo wachiwiri ngati maziko a TimberTech Pro ndi Edge decking.
Kuphatikiza pakupatutsa zinyalala m'malo otayiramo, Azek akuti kugwiritsa ntchito zinthu zobwezerezedwanso kumachepetsa kwambiri ndalama zakuthupi.Mwachitsanzo, Azek akuti idapulumutsa $ 9 miliyoni pachaka pogwiritsa ntchito 100 peresenti yobwezeretsanso zinthu za HDPE m'malo mwazinthu zomwe zidalibe namwali kupanga zida za Pro ndi Edge.
"Ndalama izi, pamodzi ndi njira zina zobwezeretsanso ndikusinthanso, zathandizira kuchepetsa pafupifupi 15 peresenti pamitengo yathu yapaundi imodzi komanso kutsika kwapafupifupi 12 peresenti pamtengo wamtengo wapatali wa PVC pa paundi. ndalama za 2017 mpaka 2019, ndipo tikukhulupirira kuti tili ndi mwayi wochepetsanso ndalama, "akutero Azek IPO prospectus.
Kupeza kwa February 2020 kwa Return Polymers, membala woyambitsa Vinyl Sustainability Council, kumatsegula khomo lina la mwayiwo pokulitsa luso la Azek lopanga zinthu za PVC.
Yakhazikitsidwa mu 1994, Return Polymers imaperekanso PVC yobwezeretsanso, kutembenuza zinthu, ntchito zochotsa zinyalala, kubwezeretsa zinyalala ndi kasamalidwe ka zinyalala.
"Zinali zoyenera. ... Tili ndi zolinga zofanana," adatero David Foell panthawi ya webinar."Tonse tikufuna kukonzanso ndi kusunga chilengedwe. Tonse tikufuna kuwonjezera kugwiritsa ntchito vinyl. Unali mgwirizano waukulu."
Return Polymers amabwezeretsanso zida zambiri zomangira zomwe ndi zida zam'badwo woyamba kumapeto kwa moyo wawo wothandiza zomwe amapeza kuchokera kumamangidwe ndi kugwetsa, makontrakitala ndi ogula.Bizinesiyo imakonzanso zinthu monga zida zochapira ndi zowumitsira, zitseko za garage, mabotolo ndi zotchingira, matailosi, media tower tower, makhadi a ngongole, ma docks ndi malo osambira.
"Kutha kupeza zinthu muno kuchokera ku katundu wonyamula katundu ndiye chinsinsi chothandizira kuti zinthu izi zitheke," adatero Foell.
Kuchokera ku luso la Return Polymers, Foell anati: "Tikugwiritsabe ntchito zinthu zosavuta. Timapanga mazenera, siding, mapaipi, mipanda - mayadi 9 onse - komanso zinthu zina zomwe anthu akutaya m'matope lero. kunyadira kwambiri kupeza njira ndi ukadaulo wogwiritsa ntchito zinthuzo pazinthu zoyambirira. Sitikutcha kubweza zinthu zobwezerezedwanso. Timazitcha upcycling chifukwa ... tikuyesera kupeza chinthu chomaliza kuti tiyikemo."
Pambuyo pa webinar, Foell adauza Plastics News kuti amawona tsiku lomwe pali pulogalamu yobwezeretsanso omanga ndi eni nyumba.
"Return Polymers adakonzanso kale kukongoletsa kwa OEM chifukwa chatha, kusintha kasamalidwe kagawidwe kapena kuwonongeka kwamunda," adatero Foell."Return Polymers apanga makina opangira zinthu komanso makina obwezeretsanso kuti athandizire izi. Ndikuganiza kuti kukonzanso kwa polojekiti kudzafunika posachedwa, koma zidzangochitika ngati njira yonse yogawa - kontrakitala, kugawa, OEM. ndi recycler - amatenga nawo mbali."
Kuchokera pazovala ndi zomangira zomangira mpaka zoyikapo ndi mazenera, pali misika yosiyana siyana komwe ma vinyl omwe amagulitsidwa mwanjira yake yolimba kapena yosinthika amatha kupeza nyumba.
Misika yodziwika bwino yomwe imadziwika pano ikuphatikiza makonda, 22 peresenti;vinyl kusakaniza, 21 peresenti;udzu ndi dimba, 19 peresenti;vinyl siding, soffit, trim, zowonjezera, 18 peresenti;ndi chitoliro chachikulu cha m'mimba mwake ndi zopangira zazikulu kuposa mainchesi 4, 15 peresenti.
Izi ndi molingana ndi kafukufuku wa 134 vinilu recyclers, broker ndi zomalizidwa opanga mankhwala opangidwa ndi Tarnell Co. LLC, kusanthula ngongole ndi bizinesi zambiri kampani Providence, RI, lolunjika pa North America utomoni mapurosesa.
Woyang'anira wamkulu a Stephen Tarnell adati zidziwitso zidasonkhanitsidwa pazambiri zobwezerezedwanso, ndalama zomwe zidagulidwa, zogulitsidwa ndi kutayidwa, kuthekera kokonzanso ndi misika yoperekedwa.
"Nthawi zonse zakuthupi zikatha kupita ku chinthu chomalizidwa, ndiko komwe zimafuna kupita. Ndiko komwe kuli malire, "adatero Tarnell pa Msonkhano wa Vinyl Recycling Summit.
"Compounders nthawi zonse azigula pamtengo wotsika kuposa kampani yomalizidwa, koma amagula zambiri pafupipafupi," adatero Tarnell.
Komanso, kukwera pamndandanda wamisika yodziwika bwino ndi gulu lotchedwa "ena" lomwe limatenga 30 peresenti ya PVC yobwezerezedwanso pambuyo pa ogula, koma Tarnell adati ndi chinsinsi.
"'Zina' ndi zomwe ziyenera kufalikira pamagulu onse, koma anthu omwe ali pamsika wobwezeretsanso ... amafuna kudziwa mwana wawo wagolide. Safuna nthawi zambiri kutchula kumene zinthu zawo zikupita chifukwa ndizo. loko yotsika kwambiri kwa iwo."
Post-consumer PVC imapanganso njira yothetsera misika ya matailosi, kuumba makonda, magalimoto ndi zoyendera, mawaya ndi zingwe, pansi zolimba, kuchirikiza kapeti, zitseko, denga, mipando ndi zida.
Mpaka misika yomaliza ilimbikitsidwa ndikuwonjezeka, ma vinyl ambiri apitiliza kupita kumalo otayirako.
Anthu aku America adatulutsa zinyalala zapanyumba zokwana mapaundi 194.1 biliyoni mu 2017, malinga ndi lipoti laposachedwa kwambiri loyang'anira zinyalala.Pulasitiki imapanga mapaundi 56.3 biliyoni, kapena 27.6 peresenti ya chiwerengero chonse, pamene mapaundi 1.9 biliyoni a PVC otayidwa amaimira 1 peresenti ya zipangizo zonse ndi 3.6 peresenti ya mapulasitiki onse.
"Uwu ndi mwayi woti tiyambe kuyambiranso kugwiritsa ntchito zinthu zina," akutero a Richard Krock, wachiwiri kwa purezidenti woona za kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe ka kayendetsedwe kake.
Kuti agwiritse ntchito mwayiwu, makampaniwa amayeneranso kuthana ndi zovuta zosonkhanitsira zinthu ndikupeza malo oyenera obwezeretsanso.
"Ndicho chifukwa chake timayika cholinga chathu pakuwonjezeka kwa 10 peresenti ya ogula pambuyo," adatero Krock."Tikufuna kuyamba modzichepetsa chifukwa tikudziwa kuti zikhala zovuta kutengeranso zida zambiri motere."
Kuti akwaniritse cholinga chake, makampaniwa akuyenera kukonzanso ma vinyl mapaundi opitilira 10 miliyoni pachaka m'zaka zisanu zikubwerazi.
Zina mwazoyesererazi zitha kuphatikiza kugwira ntchito ndi malo osinthira, omanga ndi kugwetsanso zida kuti ayese kupanga zodzaza magalimoto okwana mapaundi 40,000 a zinthu za PVC zomwe zidagwiritsidwa ntchito kuti madalaivala amagalimoto azinyamula.
Krock adatinso, "Pali ma voliyumu ambiri osanyamula magalimoto okwana mapaundi 10,000 ndi mapaundi 20,000 omwe ali m'malo osungiramo katundu kapena ali m'malo osungiramo zinthu zomwe mwina alibe malo osungira. Izi ndi zinthu zomwe tiyenera kupeza njira yabwino kwambiri. kuwatengera kumalo omwe atha kuwakonza ndikuziyika muzogulitsa."
Malo obwezeretsanso adzafunikanso kukweza kuti asanthule, kuchapa, kugaya, kupukuta ndi kupukuta.
"Tikuyesera kukopa osunga ndalama ndi opereka ndalama," adatero Krock."Maboma angapo ali ndi mapologalamu opereka thandizo. ... Amayendetsa ndi kuyang'anira malo otayirapo, ndipo ndikofunikanso kwa iwo kuti asamalire kuchuluka kwa zotayirapo."
Thomas, yemwe ndi mkulu wa bungwe loona zachitetezo cha bungweli, adati akuganiza kuti zovuta zaukadaulo, zogwirira ntchito komanso zosokoneza ndalama zobwezeretsanso PVC zambiri za ogula zitha kutheka ndikudzipereka kwamakampaniwo.
"Kuchulukitsa kwambiri kukonzanso pambuyo pa ogula kudzachepetsa kuchuluka kwa mpweya wamakampani, kuchepetsa kulemedwa kwa mafakitale a vinyl pa chilengedwe komanso kukonza malingaliro a vinyl pamsika - zonsezi zimathandizira kutsimikizira tsogolo la mafakitale a vinyl," adatero.
