It is estimated that 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled by end users. As we look to the future, we expect these eight areas to gain even more importance—and acceptance—among our customers and their end users. We continue to explore additional opportunities globally.

For engineers at Victorinox, the answer was to make it even more durable and user-friendly than previous versions. Beyond finding the best material combination—Bergamid™ nylon copolymer and GLS™ TPEs—our global presence and expertise across an array of specialty polymers and colorants, combined with local service and support, helped Victorinox to accelerate development work, streamline production and reach their design goals.

The scenario provides a rich array of both qualitative and quantitative data, which is particularly pertinent for a manufacturing entity like ours that is a heavy energy user.

The design team had two objectives: improve vibration damping performance of the boot to deliver a better user experience, and streamline manufacturing of the part to reduce system costs. At the same time, adding a softer material could increase damping performance, which can help power tool users avoid health issues such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis related to constant vibration. Equally important, the manufacturer added value to its products by reducing vibration for a more pleasant user experience.

It is estimated that 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled by end users. Note: a base year is not applicable to this goal, because as the number of suppliers fluctuates so does the number of suppliers that need to be assessed to achieve our goal – i.e. the achievement of the target is not tied to a base year.
