SK Geo Centric与全球领先造纸企业APP集团 就“开发环保纸质包装材料”开展合作
2021.09.15
■ 环保材料企业&专业造纸企业强强联手开发可持续环保包装材料 ■ 就开发可回收利用包装材料开展合作…今后还将开发功能性纸质材料,继续扩大合作领域 ■ 罗庚秀社长表示,“通过与APP集团等多元化材料企业合作,拓展环保包装材料解决方案的开发   SK Geo Centric在由碳化学向绿色化学(Carbon to Green)转换的新事业架构公布之际,与全球造纸企业APP集团将携手开发环保纸质包装材料。   SK Geo Centric在15日宣布,双方就共同合作开发环保纸质包装材料签署了MOU,罗庚秀社长和APP集团黄志源董事长等在线参加了签字仪式。APP集团总部设在印度尼西亚,作为专业的造纸企业,其生产的纸、浆产品出口到全世界160多个国家。   SK Geo Centric和APP集团的合作,将在可回收利用造纸等纸材料供应及环保原材料开发/引进等领域共同合作,以期开发出新型的环保包装材料。   SK Geo Centric作为拥有多种功能性涂覆(coating)材料的环保材料企业,与旨在提高纸质材料回收利用率的全球造纸集团APP通过此次联手开发纸质包装材料,对于开发可持续环保包装材料解决方案意义重大。过去以塑料为原料的纸质包装使用时,很难实现回收利用;现在通过这一解决方案,利用SK Geo Centric的高性能环保材料为原料,便可以实现再回收利用,从而为解决环境问题做出贡献。   纸制包装材料因为防水、硬度等问题,在食品包装材料领域并不被广泛使用。但随着环保材料技术的不断发展,易于回收利用的纸质材料逐渐实现了塑料的替代。例如在巧克力、饼干类的外包装或牛奶等灭菌的包装上涂覆一层铝就能够实现灭菌的功能。   特别是将SK Geo Centric的环保材料(*)与纸制包装材料结合起来,不仅可以维持纸本身的可回收性,同时可以提高包装材料的防水性、粘合性等功能,因此,可以大大改善纸制包装物性的限制。 (*)将高性能聚烯烃材料应用于纸质材料上,其防水性能够实现食品包装的可用性,同时增加了可回收利用性,为环保做出贡献   SK Geo Centric与APP集团将以开发环保纸质包装为起点,今后还将在利用高性能纸制包装材料等多种环保纸质材料相关领域展开进一步合作。   APP集团黄志源董事长表示,“通过与拥有环保材料技术的SK Geo Centric合作,开发出易于回收利用且性能优异的纸质包装材料,共同为构建环保包装材料生态体系做出贡献。”“APP集团将致力于可持续的环保包装材料的开发”。   SK Geo Centric罗庚秀社长表示,“通过与专业造纸企业APP集团合作,开发可替代塑料原料的差别化环保纸质包装材料,期待双方创造更大的协同效应”,同时强调“今后,SK Geo Centric也将通过与APP集团等多元化材料企业的合作,不断持续开发新的环保包装材料解决方案”。   另外,据包装材料行业预测,易于回收利用的环保纸质包装材料将逐渐替代以塑料等为原料的饼干袋、塑料(PET)瓶、酒瓶等食品饮料包装材料。最近,雀巢、可口可乐、Absolut等饮料类、酒类行业就推出了如巧克力的外包装、PET瓶、酒瓶以及玻璃材料等由纸质材料替代的试制品。   [照片]   第 一, 第二, ...
SK IE Technology加入RE100,“提前实现环保电能转型”
2021.09.14
■ 10日,加入RE100……计划于2025年,提前5年实现环保电能转型 -韩国、波兰工厂已经100%引进环保电能 -在华引进太阳能发电设备,自主提供环保电能 ■ 积极增设生产设施的同时,在2030年之前减少70%的温室气体排放量 ■ SKIET的CEO 卢载晰表示,“通过发展业务巩固行业第一的地位,同时计划在环保转型领域独占鳌头,引领市场”   本月10日,SK Innovation的子公司SK IE Technology(简称SKIET)完成加入“RE100(Renewable Electricity 100)”。   RE100是国际非营利组织“气候组织”发起的倡议,其旨在将企业使用的电能100%地转型为可再生能源。虽然是自愿参加的倡议,但随着全球范围内对环保的需求日益高涨,众多企业主动参与其中。韩国RE100委员会评估申请入会的企业是否符合加入RE100。SKIET已于去年11月向韩国RE100委员会提交加入申请书。   SKIET计划以加入RE100为契机,加快步伐实现环保电能转型。虽然加入RE100不是义务事项,但SKIET决定从今年开始在韩国忠清北道曾坪、清州等韩国所有工厂,以及即将开工的波兰西里西亚省工厂内100%引进环保电能。SKIET是韩国首家在国内外单一工厂内100%使用环保电能的企业。   除此之外,SKIET计划在中国自主供电,在工厂屋顶安装7万m2规模的太阳能发电设备。可见SKIET先于利害关系者提出要求,积极地采用环保电能。   根据上述计划,SKIET计划在2025年之前针对全球工厂使用的电能中的60%实现环保转型。若按期实现,可提前5年完成RE100要求的水平。此外,SKIET计划于2030年前在全球所有生产基地引进环保电能,通过该措施,减少企业排放的温室气体总量的70%。   SKIET自主树立环保转型目标的目的在于巩固目前国际LiBS(Lithium ion Battery Separator)市场第一的地位,并在ESG领域发展成为引领行业的领头企业。   SKIET生产的主要产品——LiBS是生产有助于减少温室气体排放的电动汽车用电池时必不可少的核心材料。欧盟委员会还将其纳入了《欧盟分类法》(EU taxonomy)。《欧盟分类法》是指有助于绿色环保、可持续的经济活动的产品等的目录,向企业、投资者、环境政策制定者等进行提供,鼓励环保活动,促进适当的投资。   SKIET去年销售的LiBS约达5亿m2, 约为生产76万辆电动汽车所需的总量。若以76万辆电动汽车取代内燃机汽车,每年温室气体排放量则可减少约94万吨。   SKIET CEO 卢载晰强调称:“将通过发展业务巩固行业第一的地位,同时计划在环保转型领域独占鳌头,引领市场。”   韩国RE100委员会委员长陈遇三表示: “衷心祝贺SKIET加入RE100,继去年SK集团的6家公司,这次SKIET在从SK Innovation独立后,时隔两年加入RE100,SK集团再次向全球市场和产业界展示了气候领导力。”   [图片]   SK IE Technology中国常州工厂
