Plastics \u201csaved\u201d from the back of newer TV models that have reached the end of their lifecycle. According to Sony, \u201cMaterial-to-Material recycling refers to recycling where materials recovered from used products are reused as raw materials in new products of the same category with equivalent quality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Material-to-Material recycling is possible because they successfully incorporated plastic recovered from the end-of-life TVs for SORPLAS (Sustainable Oriented Recycled Plastic), a flame-retardant recycled polycarbonate resin developed by Sony. Additionally, Sony said in a press release that SORPLAS achieves high quality with high recycled material content (up to 99%). It also reportedly reduces carbon emissions \u201csignificantly\u201d during production. For the first time, Sony\u2019s SORPLAS recycled plastic will be added to the back of the 65-inch 4K OLED BRAVIA 8 (2024 models).<\/p>\n<p>The plastic materials that they recovered from the end-of-life TVs contain various types of plastic, which makes it hard to reuse because of the differences in strength and texture. As a result, the BRAVIA team and Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation, the developer of SORPLAS, created advanced sorting technology for television reuse. According to Sony, the technology allows them to collect and sort specific plastic from used TV rear covers from any manufacturer and reuse it as high-quality raw materials.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tomorrowsworldtoday.com\/technology\/sony-recycles-tv-materials-for-new-flame-retardant-plastic\/\">Tomorrow&#8217;s World Today<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-702\/\">Sony Recycles TV Materials For New Flame-Retardant Plastic<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,8908,18628,2914],"class_list":["post-139209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-materials","tag-sony","tag-tv"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139209\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
