This is a collaborative project between CP Cases Ltd in London, Matrix Polymers Ltd in Liverpool and the Polymer Processing Research Center at Queen's University Belfast. The project aims to develop a 100% bio-based polymer or as high bio-based as technically possible for the production of a new line of ruggedised cases. The project will provide a commercially feasible solution to the whole rotational moulding industry that will enable supply chain resilience, environmental sustainability and enhanced proven field performance.The global focus on climate change and the goals agreed at COP meetings all rely on a reduction in fossil fuel consumption. The majority of materials within the plastic sector rely on fossil-fuel based polymers and options for bio-based materials are limited or non-existent for sectors such as rotational moulding. This project brings together a complete supply chain consortium to prototype, manufacture, test and certify a new generation of bio-based polymer materials for the UK rotational moulding sector. CP Cases, Matrix Polymers and Queen's University, Belfast will combine their pooled experience in manufacturing, advanced rotational moulding techniques and polymer compound formulation, to demonstrate and validate a novel and innovative bio-based polymer material for the manufacture of ruggedised transport and storage cases.PE transport and storage cases are used throughout multiple industrial and commercial sectors including medical, defence, broadcast, energy and marine. All the major players that operate in these markets have taken concrete steps towards having a sustainable supply chain. CP Cases is a key supplier to these markets, and will work closely with Matrix Polymers and QUB to assist their customers in achieving their own sustainability targets.The project addresses the whole life cycle of a rotomoulded ruggedised case from cradle to grave, from the raw material availability to finished product recycling aiming to introduce a circular production approach to the wider rotomoulding industry.

这是伦敦的CP Cases有限公司、利物浦的Matrix聚合物有限公司和贝尔法斯特女王大学聚合物加工研究中心之间的合作项目。该项目旨在开发一种100%生物基聚合物或技术上尽可能高的生物基聚合物，用于生产新系列的坚固外壳。该项目将为整个滚塑行业提供一个商业上可行的解决方案，使供应链具有弹性，环境可持续性和增强的现场性能。全球对气候变化的关注和缔约方会议上商定的目标都依赖于减少化石燃料消耗。塑料行业的大多数材料依赖于化石燃料基聚合物，而生物基材料的选择有限或不存在于滚塑等行业。该项目汇集了一个完整的供应链联盟，为英国滚塑行业提供新一代生物基聚合物材料的原型，制造，测试和认证。CP Cases、Matrix Polymers和位于贝尔法斯特的女王大学将联合收割机结合他们在制造、先进的滚塑技术和聚合物化合物配方方面的丰富经验，展示和验证一种用于制造坚固耐用的运输和储存箱的新型创新生物基聚合物材料。PE运输和储存箱广泛应用于多个工业和商业领域，包括医疗、国防、广播、能源和海洋。在这些市场上运营的所有主要参与者都采取了具体措施，以建立可持续的供应链。CP Cases是这些市场的主要供应商，并将与Matrix Polymers和QUB密切合作，帮助他们的客户实现自己的可持续发展目标。该项目解决了滚塑加固箱从摇篮到坟墓的整个生命周期，从原材料供应到成品回收，旨在将循环生产方法引入更广泛的滚塑行业。
