ReDefyneTM, a portfolio of environmentally friendly polyamides created with up to 100% pre- and post-consumer recycled polyamide 66 or 6, was introduced by Ascend Performance Materials to offer a low carbon footprint and dependable performance, even in demanding applications.

Steve Manning, senior director for engineered materials at Ascend, stated that his company’s primary mission is to provide creative, dependable products that would enable its customers to achieve their long-term sustainability goals. ReDefyne produces a recycled polyamide that performs in applications where recycled materials have typically been disqualified by integrating our expertise from Poliblend with our integrated operations and our global application development expertise.

Ascend and ITW Global Fasteners are working together to pilot blockchain traceability in accordance with UNI EN 15343 through the Plastic Finder’s Certified Circular Plastic® programme. ReDefyne products are third-party certified.
According to Christelle Staller, Ascend’s sales director for EMEAI, “ITW is producing fasteners with a significantly lower carbon footprint thanks to ReDefyne.” “ITW and Ascend are thrilled to trial Certified Circular Plastic’s blockchain traceability initiative since we both believe that sustainability requires responsibility.”
