2021年4月22日：世界地球日
苏伊士和利安德巴塞尔拓展与Samsonite合作
携手推出由回收塑料制成的全新可持续发展系列旅行箱
2021年4月22日，适逢世界地球日，新秀丽、利安德巴塞尔和苏伊士携手推出了更具可持续性的全新产品，再度彰显其致力于保护环境的决心。苏伊士和利安德巴塞尔的塑料回收合作公司Quality Circular Polymers(QCP)再次携手新秀丽，全新打造Magnum Eco系列旅行箱。新系列产品充分利用QCP在高品质塑料回收利用方面的专业能力，其重点是赋予塑料废弃物第二次生命，减少使用原始材料。
新秀丽以卓越品质和坚固耐用著称，继2019年推出S’Cure ECO系列大获成功后，此次又推出由再生塑料制成的全新Magnum Eco系列旅行箱，以保护自然资源。旅行箱行业领导者新秀丽再次携手QCP，运用其在塑料回收利用方面的专业知识，共同完成了新系列产品的构想。该系列旅行箱由欧洲团队设计，并由从荷兰和比利时收集而来的矿泉水瓶和酸奶杯等生活塑料垃圾制成，大尺寸旅行箱所采用的环保再生材料相当于483个酸奶杯和14个矿泉水瓶。此款产品采用了创新的Recyclex™技术，其外壳全部由回收塑料制成，而内里材质则来自100%再生PET瓶。
全新的Magnum Eco系列体现了QCP和新秀丽致力于开发利用回收塑料并减少碳足迹的负责任产品的共同承诺。
新秀丽可持续发展全球总监Christine Riley Miller视这一行业领先的创新为长远的环境保护蓝图中的一部分：“我们不断寻找新的方法来减少整个业务的环境足迹，包括创新产品的制造模式，从而在塑料垃圾的再利用中发挥我们的作用。”
利安德巴塞尔欧洲、中东、非洲和印度烯烃和聚烯烃高级副总裁Richard Roudeix 评论道： “利安德巴塞尔正在采取决定性的行动来推进循环经济的雄心，而新秀丽Magnum Eco系列旅行箱是使塑料这一有价值的资源变废为宝的完美体现。这种回收材料，是来自我们CirculenRecover产品系列的聚合物，为旅行者提供耐用、持久的产品。我们很荣幸能与新秀丽合作，参与这一可持续解决方案的制定，帮助环境消灭塑料垃圾，并努力不断创新，以满足我们客户的需求。”
苏伊士集团欧洲地区高级执行副总裁兼集团首席运营官Jean-Marc Boursier补充道：“我们很高兴能够继续与新秀丽合作。研发能力是集团的关键驱动力之一，与集团在回收利用高品质塑料方面的专长相结合，使我们在此次全新系列旅行箱的开发中发挥重要作用。我们很自豪可以为客户提供具体的循环经济解决方案和技术。对于包括QCP合作公司在内的回收再造塑料，我们特别注重确保其可追溯性、合规性和可持续性。”
QCP在2020年12月收购比利时的TIVACO塑料回收工厂之后，开启与新秀丽的这次新合作。新收购的这家工厂每年能生产回收塑料约2.2万吨， 使QCP生产回收塑料的总能力提升至5.5万吨左右。
此款全新系列产品售价从169欧元起，共有四种不同的尺寸可供选择，仅在顶级百货商店和新秀丽店铺有售。

April 22, 2021: Earth Day
SUEZ and LyondellBasell extend their collaboration with Samsonite to produce a new range of suitcases using recycled plastics
On the occasion of Earth Day, SUEZ, LyondellBasell and Samsonite reaffirm their commitment to reducing their clients’ environmental footprint by developing even more sustainable products. Quality Circular Polymers (QCP), the plastics recycling joint venture of SUEZ and LyondellBasell, has renewed its collaboration with Samsonite for its Magnum Eco suitcase collection. This new range leverages QCP’s expertise in high-quality polymers recycling and focuses on giving post-consumer plastics a second life while reducing the use of virgin materials.
Building on the success of the S’Cure ECO collection launched in 2019, and in order to preserve natural resources, Samsonite, well known for the quality and durability of its products, has launched its new Magnum Eco suitcase range made from secondary plastics materials. The luggage industry leader turned once again to QCP to benefit from its expertise in plastics recycling and recovery to take part in the conception of this new collection. Designed in Europe, the suitcases are made from household plastic waste from the Netherlands and Belgium, such as plastic bottles and yogurt pots: the large size suitcase incorporates recycled plastic waste equivalent to 483 yoghurt cups and 14 plastic bottles. Using the innovative Recyclex™ technology, the exterior shells are made entirely from recycled plastics and the interior fabric is also developed from 100% recycled PET bottles.
The new Magnum Eco collection illustrates QCP and Samsonite’s joint commitment to developing responsible products that incorporate recycled plastics resulting in a lower carbon footprint.
Christine Riley Miller, Samsonite’s Global Director of Sustainability sees this industry-first
innovation as part of a bigger picture: “We are continuously looking for new ways to reduce our environmental footprint across our operations. This includes innovating how our products are made so we play our part in repurposing plastic waste.”
“LyondellBasell is taking definitive action to advance its circular economy ambitions, and the Samsonite Magnum Eco luggage is a perfect demonstration of bringing this valuable plastic resource back to life. This recycled material, polymers from our CirculenRecover product range, is providing travelers with a durable, lasting product. We are honored to join Samsonite in being part of this sustainable solution to help end plastic waste in the environment, and endeavor to continuously innovate to meet our customer’s needs” commented Richard Roudeix, LyondellBasell Senior Vice President of Olefins and Polyolefins for Europe, Middle East, Africa and India.
“We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Samsonite. R&D, a key driver of growth and differentiation for the SUEZ Group, combined with our expertise in recycling high-quality polymers,
played an important role in the development of this new suitcase range. We are proud to offer concrete circular solutions and technologies to our customers. We are particularly vigilant in ensuring the traceability, compliance and sustainability of the plastics that we recycle, with LyondellBasell, within the QCP joint venture” added Jean-Marc Boursier, Senior Executive Vice President of SUEZ in charge of the France Region and Group Chief Operating Officer.
This new collaboration comes after QCP’s acquisition in December 2020 of TIVACO, a plastic recycling company located in Belgium. With a capacity of processing approximately 22,000 tonnes of recycled plastics per year, this acquisition brought QCP’s total plastic recycling capacity to approximately 55,000 tonnes per year.
The new collection of suitcases, which starts at €169, comes in four different sizes and is exclusively available at leading department stores and Samsonite stores.
