Syensqo, a global leader in high-performance materials, and woom, the innovative manufacturer of premium children’s and teen’s #bikes, announce a strategic partnership to introduce Syensqo’s Omnix® 1030 ECHO RPRF circular polymer in the new woom WOW bike series. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the transition to more circular, high-performance materials for the leisure goods industry, with Syensqo’s materials used in key visible structural components including the front fork, back fork, and handlebar of woom’s latest models.


The woom WOW is a self-balancing bike designed for children aged 9 to 36 months, helping them develop balance and motor skills through an intuitive, stabilizing design. Made in Europe, it combines a lightweight, premium look with more sustainable materials, including Syensqo’s Omnix® 1030 ECHO RPRF. This circular polymer contains 98% recycled content and can reduce the product’s carbon footprint by up to 72% compared to conventional materials, while still delivering the strength, durability and quality needed for everyday use.


Our collaboration with #woom demonstrates how Syensqo’s broad portfolio, and technical expertise, can help customers replace traditional metals and engineering plastics with innovative, eco-friendly solutions in e-bike and bike manufacturing. The introduction of #Omnix®1030ECHORPRF represents a breakthrough for the industry, underscoring Syensqo’s leadership and ambition, as a key raw material supplier driving the future of bicycle and e-bike innovation.-Philippe Martin at #Syensqo.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling?

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling? Biffa shut its Sunderland plant. Viridor walked away from Avonmouth and Rochester. Yes Recycling Fife collapsed within a year. All three were backed by major investments All three had buyers lined up for recyclate All three are now offline This is not bad luck It is bad structure Over the next four posts I will break down: 1. Why cheap virgin imports are undercutting UK recyclers 2. How weak policy enforcement is fuelling market failure 3. What volatile PRNs and cheap exports are doing to infrastructure 4. Why demand from brands is softer than their promises Let’s start with the first: **Cheap Virgin Resin = Broken Economics** Virgin PE, PP, and PET have been flooding the global market. New capacity in Asia and the US has driven prices down 30 to 40 percent. Meanwhile, recycled plastic costs more to produce in the UK than it can sell for. We are asking UK recyclers to compete with materials made in places with – ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : A BUG IN INJECTION MOLDING

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share A bug in injection molding – an injection-molded part in a bug? Neither! Nature and injection molding have reached similar results. Nature created the first micro-gear long before any human engineering existed. One such example is the Issus coleoptratus (shown in the picture). Furthermore, only now are we reaching the point where injection-molded polymer microgears can approach this level of performance. Looking at the images, which one do you think is the natural gear, and which one is the molded version? It is not that easy to tell, right? Their appearance and operating principles are surprisingly similar. Chitin, a natural linear polymer, forms what nature essentially "molds” into shape. In engineering, we rely on advanced technical polymers to produce similar geometry through actual injection molding. They are not the same material, yet they solve the same issue: Stiffness, dimensional stability, and reliable function at a scale where tolerances...
