Materials produced by the process can be drop-in replacements for virgin material, according to Gopal. The recycled-content nylon 6\/6 can be customized as well, he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inline-ad-para\" dir=\"ltr\">Full nylon 6\/6 recycling &#8220;has been a challenge that the industry has been trying to meet for 20 or 30 years,&#8221; Gopal said. &#8220;We&#8217;re very excited to reach this breakthrough.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The process also reduces the need for new supplies of feedstocks such as adipic acid and HMD.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On the overall topic of sustainability, Gopal said &#8220;it&#8217;s not something sold by one company or one player \u2014 it has to be used across the entire value chain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ascend aims to have its carbon footprint reduced by 90 percent vs. 2018 levels by 2030. The firm has spent more than $200 million on sustainability efforts over the last several years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"inline-ad-para\" dir=\"ltr\">Ascend is the world&#8217;s largest fully integrated nylon 6\/6 maker.
