Plastinum All Set to Produce Top-Quality Thermoplastic from Electronic and Electrical Waste

Tuesday 04. March 2008 - Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp. (BULLETIN BOARD: PLNU) announced today the commercialization of its first compounds made from recycled mixed post- consumer plastics: the Infinymer Sml 31.1 and the Infinymer Ssl 31.1.

For some time now, Plastinum has been developing its Blendymer technology — currently the only environmentally-friendly mechanical process to treat mixed-plastic waste in an economically viable way. “It was thought to be impossible, processing incompatible polymers into a usable compound. We believe that the Blendymer technology proves the opposite,” said Jacques Mot, CEO of Plastinum Polymer Technologies Corp.

The Sml 31.1 is formed by a polystyrenic base and the Ssl 31.1 by a polyolefinic base. Both Blendymer compounds have the advantage that their composition and structure mean they can be used in a variety of ways – not only as new electrical and electronic components, but also in products ranging from piping to furniture, from lighting to sports equipment, from luggage to gardening tools. The list is long.

Another benefit of Blendymer technology is that certain properties of the Infinymers can be adjusted to suit customers’ needs.

“Plastinum envisions an ethical plastics world with 100% recycling,” said Jacques Mot. “A world in which plastic components are never disposed of, but live on in new products.”
