Recycle, Re-use, ReduceRevolutionize sustainability with Recycled PET Resin Solutions
This Brochure:
The purpose of this brochure is to present the outcome of our efforts within the pillar of renewable sourcing
offering a range of resins containing renewable raw materials. In a time when environmental consciousness
and resource conservation are paramount, recycled PET offers a compelling alternative that combines
innovation, economic viability and ecological responsibility. Explore the remarkable journey of PET, from its
initial use as packaging material to its reincarnation as high-quality resin, paving the way towards a greener
future.
Sustainability:
A fivefold focus for a new tomorrow - the pillars of our sustainability program. these pillars form the basis ofallnex’s sustainability program, which covers all aspects from product development, raw material sourcing andmanufacturing to supply chain management and customer service. The pillars stand for the circularity that isat the core of all our considerations, defining both how we plan and execute our activities.

What are Recycled PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) ResinsrPET (Recycled PET) based unsaturated polyester resins are Terephthalic Unsaturated Polyesters produced using
RPET as a starting raw material – instead of Terephthalic Acid as used in the conventional polymer production.
Terephthalic Unsaturated polyesters are generally formulated to provide superior water & chemical resistanceand superior physical and mechanical strength properties – compared to typical orthophthalic and isophthalicunsaturated polyesters.
PET Resin ObjectiverPET (Recycled PET) flake is sourced from a local recycled plastics supplier in Australia aligning this project withthe allnex sustainability objectives.
There is potential for a significant increase in the volume of PET conversion in the manufacture of these resinsin Australia. Polyplex® 200E resin will contain the equivalent of 750 recycled plastic bottles per drum, or 3.3
bottles per kg of resin, reducing waste and promoting environmental sustainability.
Our aim is to initially consume at least 100MT of waste PET per annum typically from recycled water and otherplastic bottles converting into a more sustainable, Terephthalic UPE resin for structural composite applications.

COMPOSITES PRODUCT GUIDE – Renewable Swimming Pool ResinsPolyplex® 200E is a white pigmented structural laminating resin produced by using recycled PET as a starting raw
material. Polyplex® 200E is a more sustainable alternative to Polyplex 200 Ortho-polyester Laminating Resin forComposite Swimming Pool constructions.

Circular Economy
We diligently explore options to limit the consumption of resources, keep them in use as long as
possible, and eventually recover and recycle them at the end of service life.
Renewable Sourcing
We aim at minimal use of finite resources and strive to reduce climate impacts by looking at
renewable alternatives for raw materials and the energy we use.
Energy Efficiency
We design our product and manufacturing process in a way that enables maximum efficiency inenergy utilization across the product lifecycle.
Safer Materials
We are committed to making the substitution of potentially harmful chemicals by safer options oneof our guiding considerations.
Emissions Reduction
We work to reduce the emissions of volatile organic solvents across the product lifecycle to protect
people and the environment.

This resin also shows higher mechanical properties and improved water resistance properties over standard
orthophthalic polyester resins for better reverse-osmosis resistance of rear structural pool laminate potentially incontact with ground water.
