THEGROUPDOMO Chemicals is a customer oriented, unique integrated nylon 6 player, globally active in the

field of nylon 6 intermediates (caprolactam, cyclohexanone, phenol, acetone, ...), nylon 6 resins and

packaging film , engineering plastics, fertilizers, and distribution of petrochemical products.

The group is a value driven and family controlled company that focuses on the sustainable international

growth & value creation of its portfolio companies.

The De Clerck family, historically active in the textile industry , acquired in 1994 the Leuna Caprolactam

Site and have since then specialized in the development of high-performance Nylon 6 polymers for

textile / BCF / industrial yarn applications.

In 2002 DOMO set its first steps in the engineering plastics industry. 2004 marked another highlight

in DOMO Chemicals’ history with the acquisition of the PA2000 factory in Premnitz (Germany) which

meant the real start of our nylon 6 Engineering Plastics business.

The acquisition of Aquafil Engineering Plastics (Italy / US / China) in 2013 marked the global expansion

of the technical polymers division. From that moment on we have been providing specialized solutions

for our customers worldwide, active in the automotive, electrical, industrial and consumer goods.

THECOMPANY

DOMO Engineering Plastics Italy S.p.A is part of DOMO Chemicals with several production units and

professional teams in Germany, Italy, China, India and US. The synergies between our state-of-the-art

compounding plants support our strategy to continuously grow our innovative capabilities and provide

globally a high quality product line and excellent service levels.

DOMO Engineering Plastics Italy S.p.A implemented a new integrated Quality and Environment

Management system and aligns itself with the new ISO 9001: 2015 and ISO 14001: 2015.

The environmental behavior of our industry’s businesses and companies is indisputable one of the

most important issues of the last decade. Businesses need to acknowledge their responsibilities and

act accordingly. We at DOMO have decided early on to do everything in our power to reduce our

ecological and carbon footprint.

We have been creating links between different industries to provide our customers with ecological

friendly products and raw materials of excellent quality.

THEPRODUCTDetailed product description

The ECONAMID® Engineering Plastics range offers a complete assortment of PA66 compounds,

based on high quality pre-consumer fiber feedstock coming from carpet and textile production.

Thanks to the deep connection with the textile industries DOMO has been able to secure long term

supply agreements of this valuable raw materials.

The line includes unfilled, filled, glass fiber reinforced versions, as well as flame retardants alternatives.

The EPD refers to 100% reprocessed PA66 compounds, which is used in several end markets such

as automotive, railways, agriculture, electric & electronic and building & construction applications.

The declaration refers to ECONAMID® FL 66 and ECONAMID® FL 66G30:

ENGINEERING PLASTIC

THEPROCESSPre-consumer scrap from spinning process represents Econamid® feedstock classified as secondary

material or recycled according to ISO 14021.

DOMO collects different spinning plastic scraps in form of coil, bales and loose fibres from textile

industries and reprocess them for Econamid® production.

The pre-treatment is purely mechanical, fibres are cut and milled before being poured in the feed

hopper placed on the head of the extruder; other raw materials (i.e. glass fibre, masterbatch, additives)

are dosed according to the standard recipe during the compounding phase. Once the Bill of Material

(or BOM) is finalized, the extruder melts the raw materials through proper heating systems and force

them into a die. The resulting strands are then cooled into water and pelletized.

The ready-pellet product is then packed in bags, octabin and tank for delivery to the final end-user.

SYSTEMBOUNDARIESAccording to the PCR 2010:16 v. 2.11 the main activities are listed and divided in three subsystems:

UPSTREAM Process, CORE Process, Downstream Process

LCA METHODOLOGY

Product environmental burden has been processed in accordance with EPD general instructions issued by International EPD® System (GPI v2.5) and N.PCR 2010:16 v2.11, Plastics in primary forms UN CPC 347 (Cradle to gate with delivery). Econamid® at plant level was described by using specific data from DOMO manufacturing facility for year 2016 (Arco, IT).

Customized LCA questionnaires were used to gather in-depth information about all aspects of the production system such as bill of material, scrap pre-treatments, process efficiencies, compounding process, air emissions and process waste management. Product delivery scenarios refer to 2016.

Further process in downstream, use phase and product end of life is out of the scope of the study.
