The company continues to drive innovation in its product portfolio by launching a new grade of Rhodianyl sustainable polyamide 6,6 made from 100% post-industrial recycled polyamide. This product is manufactured at Solvay’s Santo André plant in Brazil.

The internationally recognized third-party certification organization SCS Global Services conducted a rigorous audit to verify the traceability of the group’s entire manufacturing process, including waste management and depolymerization reactions, which generate 100% recycled polymers.

Rhodianyl sustainable polyamide 6,6 can be applied in automotive engineering plastics, small household appliance engineering plastics, and textile markets. It complements the group’s broad portfolio of innovative and sustainable polymer products, providing high-quality textiles and fibers for the consumer goods industry.

Eduardo Girote, Global Business Marketing Director of Solvay Coatis, said:
“With more than 70 years of expertise, Solvay has strengthened its position as a producer and supplier of high-performance and sustainable PA66 polymers. As European customers represent a major market for this application and demand for recycled raw materials continues to grow, the certification of our recycling process marks an important step toward meeting the strict standards required by European customers. We will continue to remain committed to providing high-quality products and promoting sustainable development across the industry.”

“Solvay’s commitment to producing 100% post-consumer recycled content certified polymers has a positive impact on both the environment and the supply chain,” said Nicole Munoz, Vice President of Environmental Certification Services at SCS Global Services. “The use of recycled content can reduce waste and save energy. It does not create new materials, but instead gives materials a new life.”

Solvay’s commitment to reducing the environmental impact of the polyamide supply chain in Brazil is part of its broader ambition. In recent years, Solvay has implemented multiple innovative initiatives, such as achieving a 95% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions at its Paulínia plant, obtaining industrial area biodiversity conservation certification from the Wildlife Habitat Council, and launching a polyamide apparel recycling program.
