Rpvb Sustainable Leather Alternative, Primarily Made From Waste Laminated Glass, Grs Certified, Made From up to 97% Post-Consumer Plastic

High-tech Sustainable Leather Alternative rPVBCarter Industrial is committed to solving the global municipal solid waste (MSW) problem. More than 2 billion metric tons of MSW are generated globally every year, including car windshields, construction waste, and polyvinyl butyl (PVB) waste from solar panels.There are approximately 1.47 billion cars in the world, each containing about 1 kilogram of PVB flakes, equating to 60-70 million kilograms of PVB flakes per year. Construction waste and discarded solar panels also contribute significantly to the PVB waste stream.Despite the huge amount of PVB waste, most are still sent to landfills due to the lack of effective recycling technology. The process of separating high-quality glass from PVB can be complex and resource-intensive.However, innovative recycling technologies are being developed. The company has shifted from producing traditional artificial leather and films to focusing on the production of rPVB (recycled PVB) artificial leather, which can meet physical and chemical property requirements through its technology.The current recycling line includes modules for defilming waste film glass, physical grinding, converting polymers into regenerated solvents, and chemical dissolution and granulation. This aligns with the principles of the circular economy, which sees waste as a resource.The rPVB Leather Alternative meets the Global Recycling Standard (GRS), an international certification that ensures accurate content claims, good working conditions, and minimization of harmful environmental and chemical impacts.rPVB Leather Alternative has the highest post-consumer recycled content in the world, utilizing consumer-used waste that would otherwise end up in landfills. The company's goal is to promote circular economic models rather than linear economic models, keeping products, components, and materials at their highest utility and value.
