Eastman in the Circular Economy
Eastman is committed to working together across the value chain to create real and actionable solutions towards a true circular economy. We believe that sustainable solutions to plastic waste are in reach and we are determined to play our part in the world’s collective response. Our scientific and technical resources can be a circular economy multiplier for plastics and textiles. We have developed, operated and proven technologies that unlock value in plastics and textiles which cannot be mechanically recycled or are difficult to recycle. These scale technologies can complement current mechanical recycling technologies and enable brand owners and others in the value chain to achieve their ambitious goals for waste reduction and commitments on recycled content.
Eastman Trēva™ engineering bioplastic is a cellulose-based thermoplastic that offers both high performance and reduced environmental impact. Trēva is chemically resistant and dimensionally stable and has excellent flow and low birefringence.
Excellent chemical resistance allows it to stand up better than other engineering bioplastics to some of the harshest chemicals we encounter every day, including skin oils, popular sunscreens, and household cleaners.
Excellent flow characteristics allow it to be used with complicated parts and in filling thin walls, enabling design freedom. Innovate with confidence when molding or extruding.
Its low birefringence can eliminate the rainbow effect some plastics experience with polarized light. Expect great optical performance when looking at your electronic device or through a retail display.
