The film also showcases Eastman’s pioneering molecular recycling technology, using CGI to break down previously difficult-to-recycle plastics down to the molecular level to produce recycled acetate of the same quality as conventional plastics. It partially visualizes the process of forming the . material. This circular economy innovation makes it possible to actively divert material waste from landfills, incinerators, or ultimately the ocean.
Eastman Acetate Renew is a mostly bio-based material made from certified sustainable wood pulp using recycled waste plastics instead of fossil-based resources. Identical in look, feel and performance to the highest quality traditional acetate, Acetate Renew creates eyewear frames with a much lower carbon footprint, with up to a third reduction compared to traditional manufacturing processes. It will come true.
