CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Dimension Polymers has been using a circular production process since 2014, by reusing byproducts, in order to extend the life cycle of materials, helping reducing waste and non-renewable resources consumption . The idea was born in collaboration with other companies that have been able to combine skills and knowledge, in order to carry out that ambitious project. This process begins with the recovery of the abandoned fishing nets along the harbours; those are frayed and packed through specific equipment, transformed into a semi-finished product that can undergo the thermal process for conversion into granules. The granules obtained arrive at the Dimension Polymers plant, where begins the application study of those products , according to the end user needs on the product.

After that, there is the injection molding phase where the specimens are produced in order to evaluate their aesthetic and mechanical characteristics and, after that, the pre-series of the product are made. The last phase of the supply chain is the industrialization of the polymer, which means homologating the product and then proceeding to the normal supply chain. The company’s mission is to develop ever more performing polymers, to maximize the use of post consumer materials and reduce emissions and resources use for producing new polymers.

THE FOUR DIMENSIONS OF CIRCULARITY

RECOVERY

It begins with waste recovery such as fishing nets, fabric scraps, industrial plastic, coming from all over the world. Once collected, they are cleaned and the nylon recover begins.

REGENERATE

Through an innovative process, the nylon products are regenerated, returning to their original qualities. DIMENYL / R regenerated nylon has the same characteristics as brand new nylon.

REMAKE

DIMENYL / R regenerated nylon is transformed once again and reintegrated into the natural production cycle.

REINVENT

The future goal is to create products which contain more and more quantities of DIMENYL/R and that at the can return to step 1 of the regeneration process, once dipsoded.
