Rov qab Polymers tsim PVC polymer sib xyaw los ntawm 100 feem pua cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab zoo ib yam li cov tuam txhab lag luam ib txwm siv cov khoom siv raw.Kev lag luam txuas ntxiv muag rau cov neeg siv khoom sab nraud thaum tseem yog ib qho kev sib koom ua lag luam rau nws tus tswv tshiab Azek.
Ryan Hartz, Azek tus lwm thawj coj ntawm kev muab khoom siv, hais tias "Peb tau mob siab rau kev siv cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab. Qhov ntawd yog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm peb yog leej twg thiab peb ua dab tsi,""Peb siv peb cov kev tshawb fawb thiab R & D pab pawg los txiav txim seb yuav siv cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab thiab ruaj khov, tshwj xeeb yog PVC thiab polyethylene ib yam nkaus."
Rau Azek, ua qhov yog yog siv cov yas siv dua tshiab, Hartz ntxiv, sau tseg txog li 80 feem pua ntawm cov khoom siv hauv nws cov ntoo thiab PE sib xyaw TimberTech-brand decking kab yog rov ua dua tshiab, thaum 54 feem pua ntawm nws cov capped polymer decking yog siv PVC.
Los ntawm kev sib piv, Winchester, Va.-raws li Trex Co. Inc. hais tias nws cov decks yog tsim los ntawm 95 feem pua reclaimed ntoo thiab recycled PE zaj duab xis.
Nrog $ 694 lab nyob rau hauv kev muag khoom txhua xyoo, Trex yog North America tus No. 6 yeeb nkab, profile thiab tubing tsim, raws li cov xov xwm rankings.
Trex tseem hais tias qhov tsis muaj cov txheej txheem sau tau zoo tiv thaiv nws cov khoom siv decking los ntawm kev rov ua dua thaum kawg ntawm lawv lub neej.
"Raws li kev siv sib xyaw ua ke tau dav dua thiab cov kev pabcuam sau tau tsim, Trex yuav ua txhua yam kev siv zog los txhawb cov haujlwm no," Trex hais hauv nws daim ntawv qhia txog kev ruaj ntseg.
"Feem ntau ntawm peb cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab thaum kawg ntawm lawv lub neej muaj txiaj ntsig, thiab tam sim no peb tab tom tshawb xyuas txhua yam kev xaiv uas tuaj yeem pab peb coj peb cov kev siv zog rov ua dua tshiab," Hartz hais.
Azek peb thawj cov khoom lag luam decking yog TimberTech Azek, uas suav nrog cov khoom siv PVC capped hu ua Harvest, Arbor thiab Vintage;TimberTech Pro, uas suav nrog PE thiab ntoo sib xyaw decking hu ua Terrain, Reserve thiab Legacy;thiab TimberTech Edge, uas suav nrog PE thiab ntoo sib xyaw hu ua Prime, Prime + thiab Premier.
Azek tau nqis peev ntau hauv kev tsim nws cov peev txheej rov ua dua tshiab rau ntau xyoo.Hauv 2018, lub tuam txhab tau siv $ 42.8 lab ntawm cov cuab yeej thiab cov nroj tsuag thiab cov cuab yeej siv los tsim nws cov PE rov ua dua tshiab hauv Wilmington, Ohio.Lub chaw, uas tau qhib thaum lub Plaub Hlis 2019, hloov siv cov tshuaj zawv plaub hau, jugs mis nyuj, ntxhua khaub ncaws fwj thiab yas qhwv rau hauv cov khoom uas tau txais lub neej thib ob raws li lub hauv paus ntawm TimberTech Pro thiab Edge decking.
Ntxiv nrog rau kev faib cov khib nyiab los ntawm qhov chaw pov tseg, Azek hais tias kev siv cov khoom siv rov ua dua yuav txo cov nqi khoom siv.Piv txwv li, Azek hais tias nws txuag tau $ 9 lab rau ib xyoos ib zaug los ntawm kev siv 100 feem pua cov khoom siv HDPE rov ua dua tshiab ntawm cov khoom siv nkauj xwb los tsim cov cores ntawm Pro thiab Edge cov khoom.
"Cov kev nqis peev no, nrog rau lwm qhov kev rov ua dua tshiab thiab hloov pauv, tau ua rau muaj kwv yees li 15 feem pua txo hauv peb cov nqi ib phaus capped composite decking core thiab kwv yees li 12 feem pua txo hauv peb cov nqi ib phaus PVC decking core, nyob rau hauv txhua rooj plaub. Kev siv nyiaj xyoo 2017 txog nyiaj txiag 2019, thiab peb ntseeg tias peb muaj lub sijhawm los ua kom tiav cov nqi txo ntxiv, "Azek IPO prospectus hais.
Lub Ob Hlis 2020 tau txais ntawm Return Polymers, tus tsim tswv cuab ntawm Vinyl Sustainability Council, qhib lwm lub qhov rooj rau cov cib fim los ntawm kev nthuav dav Azek txoj kev tsim khoom ntsug rau cov khoom PVC.
Founded hauv 1994, Return Polymers muaj PVC ub no, hloov khoom siv, kev pab cuam decontamination, pov tseg rov qab thiab kev tswj cov khoom seem.
"Nws yog qhov haum zoo. … Peb muaj lub hom phiaj zoo sib xws," David Foell tau hais thaum lub rooj sib tham hauv web."Peb ob leeg xav rov siv dua thiab txhawb nqa ib puag ncig. Peb ob leeg xav kom siv cov yas yas. Nws yog kev sib koom tes zoo."
Rov qab Polymers rov qab siv ntau cov khoom siv hauv tsev uas yog cov khoom tsim thawj zaug thaum kawg ntawm lawv lub neej muaj txiaj ntsig uas nws tau txais los ntawm kev tsim kho thiab rhuav tshem cov chaw, cov neeg cog lus thiab cov neeg siv khoom.Lub lag luam kuj tseem siv cov khoom siv xws li tshuab ntxhua khaub ncaws thiab tshuab ziab khaub ncaws, lub qhov rooj qhov rooj, lub raj mis thiab cov ntaub thaiv npog, pobzeb, cua txias ntauwd media, credit cards, docks thiab da dej puag ncig.
Foell tau hais tias "Lub peev xwm kom tau txais cov khoom hauv no los ntawm kev thauj khoom thauj khoom yog tus yuam sij ua kom cov khoom no ua haujlwm," Foell tau hais.
Los ntawm qhov muaj peev xwm sawv cev ntawm Return Polymers, Foell tau hais tias: "Peb tseem siv cov khoom siv yooj yim. Peb ua qhov rais, siding, yeeb nkab, laj kab - tag nrho 9 yards - tab sis kuj muaj lwm yam uas tib neeg tau pov tseg hauv qhov chaw pov tseg niaj hnub no. ua rau muaj kev txaus siab heev hauv kev nrhiav txoj hauv kev thiab thev naus laus zis los siv cov khoom hauv thawj cov khoom Peb tsis hu nws rov ua dua tshiab vim tias ... peb tab tom sim nrhiav cov khoom tiav los muab tso rau hauv. "
Tom qab lub webinar, Foell hais rau Plastics News tias nws pom ib hnub thaum muaj ib qho kev pab cuam rov qab rau cov neeg tsim thiab cov tswv tsev.
Foell tau hais tias "Kev xa rov qab Polymers tau rov ua dua tshiab OEM decking vim kev ua tsis tiav, kev hloov pauv hauv kev tswj hwm kev faib khoom lossis kev puas tsuaj," Foell tau hais."Kev xa rov qab Polymers tau tsim lub network logistics thiab cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab los txhawb cov kev siv zog no. Kuv xav xav tias kev rov ua haujlwm tom qab yuav tsum tau ua nyob rau yav tom ntej, tab sis nws tsuas yog tshwm sim yog tias tag nrho cov decking faib channel - tus neeg cog lus, xa tawm, OEM. thiab recycler - koom nrog. "
Los ntawm cov khaub ncaws thiab lub tsev trim mus rau ntim thiab qhov rais, muaj ntau yam kev lag luam kawg uas tom qab cov neeg siv khoom siv vinyl nyob rau hauv nws cov ntaub ntawv nruj lossis hloov tau yooj yim tuaj yeem nrhiav tau lub tsev.
Cov kev lag luam sab saum toj kawg nkaus tam sim no suav nrog kev cai extrusion, 22 feem pua;vinyl compounding, 21 feem pua;nyom thiab vaj, 19 feem pua;vinyl siding, soffit, trim, accessories, 18 feem pua;thiab cov yeeb nkab loj loj thiab fittings ntau dua 4 ntiv tes, 15 feem pua.
Qhov ntawd yog raws li kev tshawb fawb ntawm 134 vinyl recyclers, brokers thiab tiav cov khoom lag luam ua los ntawm Tarnell Co. LLC, kev txheeb xyuas credit thiab cov ntaub ntawv kev lag luam hauv Providence, RI, tsom mus rau tag nrho North American resin processors.
Tus Thawj Coj Tus Thawj Coj Stephen Tarnell tau hais tias cov ntaub ntawv tau sau los ntawm cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab, cov nyiaj yuav, muag thiab pov tseg, rov ua dua tshiab thiab ua lag luam.
"Thaum twg cov khoom tuaj yeem mus rau cov khoom tiav, qhov ntawd yog qhov uas nws xav mus. Qhov ntawd yog qhov chaw ntawm cov paj," Tarnell tau hais thaum lub rooj sib tham Vinyl Recycling Summit.
"Cov neeg ua haujlwm sib txuas yuav ib txwm yuav nws ntawm tus nqi qis dua lub tuam txhab cov khoom tiav, tab sis lawv yuav yuav ntau yam tsis tu ncua," Tarnell tau hais.
Tsis tas li ntawd, topping cov npe ntawm cov lag luam tseem ceeb kawg yog ib pawg hu ua "lwm" uas siv 30 feem pua ntawm cov khoom siv rov qab siv dua PVC, tab sis Tarnell tau hais tias nws yog qhov tsis paub meej.
"'Lwm yam' yog ib yam dab tsi uas yuav tsum tau nthuav tawm nyob ib ncig ntawm txhua pawg, tab sis cov neeg nyob hauv lub khw rov ua dua tshiab ... xav txheeb xyuas lawv cov tub kub. ib lub xauv loj rau lawv. "
Tom qab cov neeg siv khoom siv PVC kuj ua rau nws txoj hauv kev los xaus kev lag luam rau cov vuas, kev cai molding, tsheb thiab kev thauj mus los, xov hlau thiab cables, cov ntaub pua plag rov qab, cov qhov rooj, ru tsev, rooj tog thiab khoom siv.
Txog thaum kawg kev lag luam tau ntxiv dag zog thiab nce ntxiv, ntau cov yas yuav txuas ntxiv ua nws txoj hauv kev mus pov tseg.
Cov neeg Amelikas tau tsim 194.1 billion phaus ntawm cov khib nyiab hauv tsev hauv xyoo 2017, raws li cov ntaub ntawv qhia txog kev tswj cov khib nyiab hauv nroog tsis ntev los no.Plastics ua tau li 56.3 billion phaus, los yog 27.6 feem pua ntawm tag nrho, thaum 1.9 billion phaus ntawm pov tseg PVC sawv cev 1 feem pua ntawm tag nrho cov ntaub ntawv thiab 3.6 feem pua ntawm tag nrho cov yas.
"Qhov ntawd yog lub sijhawm zoo los pib tshem tawm ntawm kev rov ua dua tshiab," raws li Richard Krock, Vinyl Institute tus thawj coj laus ntawm kev tswj hwm thiab kev ua haujlwm.
Txhawm rau txeeb lub sijhawm, kev lag luam kuj yuav tsum tau daws cov teeb meem kev sau khoom logistical thiab tau txais cov txheej txheem rov ua dua tshiab hauv qhov chaw.
Krock tau hais tias "Yog vim li cas peb tau teem peb lub hom phiaj ntawm 10 feem pua nce ntawm cov neeg siv khoom tom qab," Krock tau hais."Peb xav pib tawm ntawm kev coj ncaj ncees vim peb paub tias nws yuav yog ib qho kev sib tw kom rov qab tau cov ntaub ntawv ntau dua hauv qhov kev zam no."
Txhawm rau kom ncav cuag nws lub hom phiaj, kev lag luam yuav tsum rov ua dua 10 lab phaus ntxiv ntawm cov yas txhua xyoo hauv tsib xyoos tom ntej.
Ib feem ntawm kev siv zog yuav ua rau muaj kev ua haujlwm nrog cov chaw hloov chaw thiab kev tsim kho thiab rhuav tshem cov khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab los sim ua kom tag nrho cov tsheb thauj khoom tag nrho ntawm 40,000 phaus ntawm cov khoom siv PVC rau cov neeg tsav tsheb thauj khoom.
Krock kuj tau hais tias, "Muaj ntau qhov tsawg dua li cov tsheb thauj khoom ntau ntawm 10,000 phaus thiab 20,000 phaus uas nyob hauv cov tsev khaws khoom lossis nyob ntawm cov chaw khaws khoom uas lawv yuav tsis muaj chaw khaws cia. thauj mus rau qhov chaw uas yuav tuaj yeem ua lawv thiab muab tso rau hauv cov khoom. "
Cov chaw rov ua dua tshiab tseem yuav xav tau kev hloov kho dua tshiab rau kev sib cais, ntxuav, sib tsoo, shredding thiab pulverizing.
Krock tau hais tias "Peb tab tom sim nyiam cov neeg ua lag luam thiab cov neeg muab kev pabcuam," Krock tau hais."Muaj ntau lub xeev muaj cov kev pab cuam. ... Lawv tswj thiab saib xyuas cov chaw pov tseg, thiab nws tseem ceeb heev rau lawv kom khaws cov khib nyiab pov tseg."
Thomas, tus thawj coj ntawm lub koom haum sustainability council, hais tias nws xav tias cov technical, logistical thiab peev nyiaj txiag teeb meem rau recycle ntau tom qab cov neeg siv khoom PVC yog nyob rau hauv ncav cuag nrog kev cog lus ntawm kev lag luam.
"Kev nce ntxiv tom qab cov neeg siv khoom siv rov ua dua tshiab yuav txo qis kev lag luam cov pa roj carbon hneev taw, txo lub nra ntawm kev lag luam yas ntawm ib puag ncig thiab txhim kho kev nkag siab ntawm cov yas hauv kev ua lag luam - tag nrho cov uas pab ua kom lub neej yav tom ntej ntawm kev lag luam vinyl," nws hais.
