DSM, the Dutch company that makes all the ultra-high molecular polyethylene braid for Berkley, Momoi, Daiwa, Spiderwire and Sufix, says it is concerned by the depletion of natural resources, climate change and environmental pollution, and is urging stakeholders to work together to adopt and influence more sustainable practices.
CirculariTeam, a coalition between DSM and the companies that use Dyneema in their products will address recycling and repurposing of end-of-use products made with Dyneema, providing a common platform for sharing knowledge, resources and technical solutions.
The coalition will focus on seven areas: reverse logistics, recycle and reuse solutions, improved production efficiency (including waste reduction), separation of waste into material components, design for circularity, regulation and information sharing. The parties have already begun collaborating and, by the end of 2021, CirculariTeam aims to demonstrate the technical feasibility of making new Dyneema fibre from post-consumer waste.
