ʻO ka hoʻoikaika ʻana o Azek Co. Inc. ma Chicago e hoʻohana hou aku i ka PVC i hoʻohana hou ʻia i loko o kāna mau huahana decking ke kōkua nei i ka ʻoihana vinyl e hoʻokō i nā pahuhopu e mālama i nā huahana i hana ʻia me ka plastic i hoʻohana nui ʻia mai nā pae ʻāina.
ʻOiai ʻo 85 ka nui o ka PVC ma mua o ka mea kūʻai aku a me ka ʻoihana, e like me ka hana ʻana i nā ʻōpala, hōʻole a me nā ʻokiʻoki, i hana hou ʻia i ka US a me Kanada, ʻo 14 wale nō ka nui o nā huahana PVC ma hope o ka mea kūʻai aku, e like me nā papahele vinyl, ka ʻaoʻao a me nā membrane o ka hale, e hana hou ʻia. .
ʻO ka nele o nā mākeke hoʻopau, ka palena o ka hana hou ʻana a me nā logistic hōʻiliʻili maikaʻi ʻole nā mea a pau e hāʻawi i kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka pae ʻāina no ke kolu o ka plastik kaulana loa o ka honua ma US a me Kanada.
No ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka pilikia, ʻo ka Vinyl Institute, kahi hui kālepa ma Wakinekona, a me kāna Vinyl Sustainability Council e hana ana i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka ʻāina i mea nui.Ua hoʻonohonoho nā hui i kahi pahuhopu haʻahaʻa e hoʻonui i ka hana hou PVC ma hope o ka mea kūʻai aku ma ka 10 pakeneka ma luna o ka helu 2016, ʻo ia ka 100 miliona paona, e 2025.
No ia hopena, ke ʻimi nei ka ʻaha i nā ala e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i nā huahana PVC ma hope o ka mea kūʻai aku, ma ke kūkulu ʻana paha i nā puke ma nā keʻena hoʻoili no nā kaʻa e lawe ana i nā ukana 40,000-paona;e kāhea ana i nā mea hana huahana e hoʻonui i ka ʻike PVC recycled;a me ka noi ʻana i nā mea hoʻopukapuka kālā a me nā mea hāʻawi hāʻawi e hoʻonui i nā ʻōnaehana hana hou no ka ʻohi ʻana, ka holoi ʻana, ka ʻokiʻoki a me ka pulverizing.
"Ma ke ʻano he ʻoihana, ua hana nui mākou i ka PVC recycling me ka ʻoi aku o 1.1 biliona paona i hana hou ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Ua ʻike mākou i ka hiki a me ke kumukūʻai o ka hana hou ʻana ma hope o ka ʻoihana, akā ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea e pono e hana ʻia ma ka ʻaoʻao post-consumer," Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jay Thomas, ka luna hoʻokele o ka Vinyl Sustainability Council, i loko o kahi webinar hou.
ʻO Thomas kekahi o nā mea haʻi'ōlelo ma ka Vinyl Recycling Summit webinar, i hoʻopuka ʻia ma ka pūnaewele ʻo Iune 29.
Ke kōkua nei ʻo Azek i ke alakaʻi ʻana i ke ala no ka ʻoihana vinyl me kāna $18.1 miliona i loaʻa iā Ashland, Ohio-based Return Polymers, kahi mea hana hou a hui pū ʻia o PVC.He laʻana maikaʻi ka mea hana deck no kahi ʻoihana e loaʻa ana ka kūleʻa me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea hana hou, e like me ka ʻaha kūkā.
I ka makahiki fiscal 2019, ua hoʻohana ʻo Azek ma mua o 290 miliona mau paona o nā mea hana hou i loko o kāna mau papa deck, a manaʻo nā luna o ka hui e hoʻonui i ka nui ma mua o 25 pakeneka i ka makahiki fiscal 2020, e like me ka prospectus IPO a Azek.
Hoʻonui ka Return Polymers i nā mea hiki ke hana hou i loko o ka hale o Azek ma kāna laina o TimberTech Azek decking, Azek Exteriors trim, Versatex cellular PVC trim a me nā huahana pepa Vycom.
Me ka manaʻo kūʻai aku he $515 miliona, ʻo Azek ka No.
ʻO Return Polymers ka 38th-nui loa recycler ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, e holo ana i 80 miliona paona o PVC, e like me ka ʻikepili helu Plastics News.Ma kahi o 70 pakeneka o ia mea mai ka post-industrial a me 30 pakeneka mai nā kumu kūʻai ma hope o ka mea kūʻai.
Hoʻokumu ʻo Return Polymers i ka hui ʻana o ka polymer PVC mai 100 pākēneka i hoʻohana hou ʻia e like me ke ʻano o ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā mea hana maʻamau i nā mea maka.Ke hoʻomau nei ka ʻoihana i ke kūʻai aku i nā mea kūʻai aku ma waho aʻo ia hoʻi he hoa hana hoʻolako i kāna mea hou ʻo Azek.
"Ke kūpaʻa nei mākou i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea hana hou. ʻO ia ke kumu o ko mākou ʻano a me kā mākou hana, "i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Ryan Hartz, ka pelekikena hope o Azek o ka sourcing, i ka wā o ka webinar."Hoʻohana mākou i kā mākou hui ʻepekema a me R&D e noʻonoʻo pehea e hoʻohana ai i nā huahana hou aʻe a hoʻomau, ʻo ia hoʻi ka PVC a me ka polyethylene pū kekahi."
No Azek, ʻo ka hana ʻana i ka mea kūpono ʻo ia ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka plastic recycled hou aʻe, i hoʻohui ʻia ʻo Hartz, me ka ʻike ʻana i ka 80 pakeneka o ka mea i loko o kāna lāʻau a me ka PE composite TimberTech-brand decking lines i hana hou ʻia, ʻoiai ʻo 54 ka nui o kāna decking polymer caped i hana hou ʻia PVC.
Ma ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, ʻōlelo ʻo Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co. Inc. ua hana ʻia kāna mau papa mai ka 95 pakeneka o ka lāʻau i hoʻihoʻi hou ʻia a me ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni PE.
Me $694 miliona ma ke kūʻai ʻana i kēlā me kēia makahiki, ʻo Trex ka No.
Wahi a Trex, ʻo ka nele o nā kaʻina hōʻiliʻili maikaʻi e pale i kāna huahana decking i hoʻohana hou ʻia i ka hopena o ko lākou ola.
"I ka laha nui ʻana o ka hoʻohana ʻana a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā papahana hōʻiliʻili, e hana ʻo Trex i nā hana āpau e holomua i kēia mau papahana," wahi a Trex i kāna hōʻike hoʻomau.
"ʻO ka hapa nui o kā mākou huahana hiki ke hana hou ʻia i ka hopena o ko lākou mau ola pono, a ke noiʻi nei mākou i nā koho āpau e hiki ke kōkua iā mākou e hoʻokō i kā mākou hana hana hou ʻana," wahi a Hartz.
ʻO TimberTech Azek nā laina huahana decking mua ʻekolu o Azek, e komo pū ana nā hōʻiliʻili PVC i kapa ʻia ʻo Harvest, Arbor a me Vintage;ʻO TimberTech Pro, kahi e loaʻa ai ka PE a me ka lāʻau i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i kapa ʻia ʻo Terrain, Reserve and Legacy;a me TimberTech Edge, e komo pū ana me ka PE a me nā hui lāʻau i kapa ʻia ʻo Prime, Prime+ a me Premier.
Ke hoʻolilo nui nei ʻo Azek i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kona hiki ke hana hou i nā makahiki he nui.Ma 2018, ua lilo ka hui i $42.8 miliona ma ka waiwai a me kahi mea kanu a me nā mea hana e hoʻokumu ai i kāna mea kanu hana hou PE ma Wilmington, Ohio.ʻO ka hale hana, i wehe ʻia ma ʻApelila 2019, hoʻololi i nā hue shampoo i hoʻohana ʻia, nā hue waiu, nā ʻōmole holoi holoi a me ka ʻili i loko o kahi mea e loaʻa ai ke ola lua ma ke ʻano he kumu o TimberTech Pro a me Edge decking.
Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻohuli ʻana i ka ʻōpala mai nā pae ʻāina, ʻōlelo ʻo Azek i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea hana hou e hōʻemi nui i nā kumukūʻai.No ka laʻana, ʻōlelo ʻo Azek ua mālama ʻo ia i $ 9 miliona i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka 100% recycled HDPE material ma mua o nā mea puʻupaʻa e hana i nā kumu o nā huahana Pro a me Edge.
"ʻO kēia mau hoʻopukapuka, a me nā hana hou a me nā hoʻololi hou ʻana, ua hāʻawi ʻia i kahi hōʻemi ma kahi o 15 pakeneka o kā mākou mau kumukūʻai decking composite paona paona a me kahi hōʻemi ma kahi o 12 pakeneka o kā mākou mau kumukūʻai PVC decking core paona, i kēlā me kēia hihia mai fiscal 2017 i fiscal 2019, a ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei mākou he manawa kūpono e hoʻokō ai i nā hōʻemi hou aʻe, "wahi a Azek IPO prospectus.
ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o Fepeluali 2020 o Return Polymers, he lālā hoʻokumu o ka Vinyl Sustainability Council, e wehe i kahi puka ʻē aʻe i kēlā mau manawa ma o ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā mana hana kūwaho o Azek no nā huahana PVC.
Hoʻokumu ʻia i ka makahiki 1994, hāʻawi ʻo Return Polymers i ka hana hou ʻana o PVC, ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā mea, nā lawelawe decontamination, ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ka ʻōpala a me ka hoʻokele ʻōpala.
"He mea kūpono loa ia. … Loaʻa iā mākou nā pahuhopu like," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo David Foell i ka wā o ka webinar."Makemake mākou ʻelua e hana hou a mālama i ke kaiapuni. Makemake mākou e hoʻonui i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka vinyl. He hui maikaʻi loa ia."
Hoʻohana hou ʻo Return Polymers i ka nui o nā mea kūkulu hale i nā huahana o ka hanauna mua i ka pau ʻana o ko lākou ola pono e loaʻa iā ia mai ke kūkulu ʻana a me nā hale wāwahi, nā mea ʻaelike a me nā mea kūʻai aku.Hoʻohana hou ka ʻoihana i nā huahana e like me nā mea holoi holoi a me nā mea maloʻo, nā puka hale kaʻa, nā ʻōmole a me nā pā, ka tile, ka media hale hoʻoluʻu, nā kāleka hōʻaiʻē, nā pahu a me nā ʻauʻau.
"ʻO ka hiki ke kiʻi i nā mea ma ʻaneʻi mai ka logistic ukana ke kī i ka hana ʻana i kēia mau mea," wahi a Foell.
Mai kahi hiʻohiʻona kūpono ma Return Polymers, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Foell: "Ke hoʻohana mau nei mākou i nā mea maʻalahi. Hana mākou i nā puka makani, ka ʻaoʻao, ka paipu, ka pā - ʻo 9 iwilei holoʻokoʻa - akā ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe a ka poʻe e hoʻolei nei i ka ʻāina i kēia lā. haʻaheo loa i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā ala a me ka ʻenehana e hoʻohana ai i kēlā mau mea i nā huahana mua ʻaʻole mākou i kapa ʻia he hana hou ʻana no ka mea ...
Ma hope o ka webinar, haʻi ʻo Foell iā Plastics News e ʻike ʻo ia i kahi lā e loaʻa ai kahi papahana hoʻihoʻi decking no nā mea kūkulu hale a me nā mea hale.
"Ua hana hou ʻo Return Polymers i ka OEM decking no ka obsolescence, hoʻololi i ka hoʻokele hoʻokele a i ʻole ka pōʻino o ke kahua," wahi a Foell."Ua hoʻomohala ʻo Return Polymers i ka ʻupena logistic a me nā ʻōnaehana recycling e kākoʻo i kēia mau hana. Manaʻo wau e koi ʻia ka hana hou ʻana ma hope o ka papahana i ka wā e hiki mai ana, akā e hana wale ʻia inā ʻo ke kaila hoʻohele decking holoʻokoʻa - contractor, distribution, OEM a me ka mea hana hou - komo."
Mai ka lole a me ka ʻoki hale a hiki i ka hoʻopili ʻana a me nā puka makani, aia nā mākeke hopena like ʻole kahi e loaʻa ai kahi home ma hope o ka mea kūʻai aku vinyl ma kona ʻano paʻa a maʻalahi paha.
ʻO nā mākeke hope loa i ʻike ʻia i kēia manawa he extrusion maʻamau, 22 pakeneka;vinyl compounding, 21 pakeneka;ka mauʻu a me ka māla, 19 pakeneka;vinyl siding, softit, trim, accessories, 18 pakeneka;a me ka paipu anana nui a me na mea pono i oi aku mamua o 4 iniha, 15 pakeneka.
ʻO ia e like me kahi noiʻi o 134 vinyl recyclers, brokers a me nā mea hana huahana i hoʻopau ʻia e Tarnell Co. LLC, kahi loiloi hōʻaiʻē a me ka ʻoihana ʻike ʻoihana ma Providence, RI, i kālele ʻia i nā mea hana resin resin a pau o ʻAmelika ʻAmelika.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Luna Hoʻokele ʻo Stephen Tarnell, ua hōʻiliʻili ʻia ka ʻike e pili ana i ka nui o nā mea i hana hou ʻia, nā kālā i kūʻai ʻia, kūʻai ʻia a hoʻopaʻa ʻia, nā mana hana hou a me nā mākeke i lawelawe ʻia.
"I kēlā me kēia manawa hiki ke hele aku nā mea i kahi huahana i hoʻopau ʻia, ma laila kahi e makemake ai e hele. ʻO ia kahi o ka palena, "i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Tarnell i ka wā o ka Vinyl Recycling Summit.
"E kūʻai mau nā Compounders ma ke kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa ma mua o kahi hui huahana i hoʻopau ʻia, akā e kūʻai nui lākou i kēlā me kēia manawa," wahi a Tarnell.
Eia kekahi, ʻo ke kiʻekiʻe o ka papa inoa o nā mākeke hopena kaulana he ʻāpana i kapa ʻia ʻo "nā mea ʻē aʻe" e lawe ana i ka 30 pakeneka o ka recycled post-consumer PVC, akā ua ʻōlelo ʻo Tarnell he mea pohihihi.
"ʻO 'ē aʻe' kahi mea e hoʻolaha ʻia a puni kēlā me kēia ʻāpana, akā makemake ka poʻe ma ka mākeke hana hou ... e ʻike i kā lākou keikikāne gula. he laka palena kiʻekiʻe no lākou."
Hoʻopau ka PVC post-consumer i kona ala e hoʻopau ai i nā mākeke no nā tile, hoʻoheheʻe maʻamau, kaʻa a me ka lawe ʻana, nā uea a me nā kaula, ka papahele kūpaʻa, ke kākoʻo kāpeti, nā puka, ka hale, nā lako a me nā mea hana.
A hiki i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana a hoʻonui ʻia nā mākeke hopena, e hoʻomau ka nui o ka vinyl i kona ala i nā pae ʻāina.
Ua loaʻa i nā ʻAmelika he 194.1 biliona paona o ka ʻōpala hale i ka makahiki 2017, e like me ka hōʻike hou ʻana o ka hoʻokele ʻōpala paʻa.He 56.3 biliona paona, a i ʻole 27.6 pākēneka o ka huina, ʻoiai ʻo ka 1.9 biliona paona o PVC i hoʻopaʻa ʻia he 1 pakeneka o nā mea a pau a he 3.6 pakeneka o nā plastics āpau.
"He manawa kūpono loa ia e hoʻomaka ai e hoʻokaʻawale i ka hana hou ʻana," wahi a Richard Krock, ka pelekikena poʻokela o ka Vinyl Institute o nā mea hoʻoponopono a me nā ʻenehana.
No ka hopu ʻana i ka manawa kūpono, pono ka ʻoihana e hoʻoponopono i nā pilikia hōʻiliʻili logistic a loaʻa i nā ʻōnaehana hana hou i kahi.
"ʻO ia ke kumu i hoʻonoho ai mākou i kā mākou pahuhopu i ka piʻi ʻana he 10 pakeneka o ka nui o nā mea kūʻai aku," wahi a Krock."Makemake mākou e hoʻomaka me ka haʻahaʻa no ka mea ʻike mākou he mea paʻakikī ke hopu hou i nā mea hou aku i kēia ʻano."
No ka hoʻokō ʻana i kāna pahuhopu, pono ka ʻoihana e hana hou i 10 miliona paona hou aku o ka vinyl i kēlā me kēia makahiki i nā makahiki ʻelima e hiki mai ana.
ʻO kahi hapa o ka hoʻoikaika ʻana e pili ana i ka hana ʻana me nā keʻena hoʻoili a me ke kūkulu ʻana a me ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā mea hana hou e hoʻāʻo e kūkulu i nā puke kalaka piha o 40,000 paona o nā huahana PVC i hoʻohana ʻia no nā mea hoʻokele kaʻa e huki.
Ua ʻōlelo pū ʻo Krock, "He nui nā puʻupuʻu liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka pahu kalaka o 10,000 paona a me 20,000 paona i loko o nā hale kūʻai a i ʻole ma nā wahi hōʻiliʻili i loaʻa ʻole iā lākou ka lumi e mālama ai. e lawe i kahi kikowaena i hiki ke hoʻoponopono iā lākou a hoʻokomo i nā huahana. "
Pono nā kikowaena hana hou i nā hoʻomaikaʻi no ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana, ka holoi ʻana, ka wili ʻana, ka ʻokiʻoki a me ka pulverizing.
"Ke hoʻāʻo nei mākou e huki i nā mea hoʻopukapuka a hāʻawi i nā mea hoʻolako," wahi a Krock."Ua loaʻa i kekahi mau mokuʻāina nā papahana hāʻawi. … Hoʻokele a nānā lākou i nā pae ʻāina, a he mea koʻikoʻi iā lākou ka mālama ʻana i nā palapala ʻāina."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Thomas, ka luna ʻaha kūkā hoʻomau o ka institute, ua manaʻo ʻo ia ʻo ka ʻenehana, logistical a me ka hoʻopukapuka kālā e hoʻihoʻi hou i ka PVC ma hope o ka mea kūʻai aku ua hiki ke loaʻa me ka kūpaʻa o ka ʻoihana.
"ʻO ka hoʻonui nui ʻana i ka hana hou ʻana ma hope o ka mea kūʻai aku e hōʻemi i ka wāwae kalapona o ka ʻoihana, e hōʻemi i ke kaumaha o ka ʻoihana vinyl ma ke kaiapuni a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ʻike o ka vinyl ma ka mākeke - ʻo ia mau mea a pau e kōkua i ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka ʻoihana vinyl," wahi āna.
