Kaynemaile founder Kayne Horsham says, &#8220;We are excited to now offer architects, designers and constructors an architectural mesh product made from a single sustainable circular material that is not only beautiful and functional, but also has the best possible environmental credentials in its sector.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The significant advance in sustainable performance is attributed to the Makrolon\u00ae RE product from Covestro, a leading global producer of advanced polymers. Makrolon\u00ae has been a consistent material solution for Kaynemaile for 20 years. Scientific advances by Covestro and its suppliers have enabled the release of a high-performance polycarbonate consisting principally of bio waste and residues which is 100% chemically identical to its incumbent fossil equivalent. RE8 retains the same performance concerning physical, mechanical, thermal, optical, fire retardant, and weathering properties as traditional polycarbonates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with this bio-circular attributed polycarbonate material means Kaynemaile\u2019s RE8 product lines now offer architectural specifiers a compelling reduction in CO2 emissions for this class of product. The net result is a circular economy building material with a true drop-in solution with no process interruption or performance change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Circular Economy Milestone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRE8 is a major milestone in Kaynemaile\u2019s 20-year commitment to circular economy practices,\u201d says Kayne Horsham. &#8220;From the start we have sought a high-performance sustainable feed-stock material solution that exceeds building compliance standards yet has a light environmental footprint. Covestro\u2019 s bio-circular attributed polycarbonate portfolio is now able to deliver on this ambition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMakrolon\u00ae RE polycarbonate from Covestro offers designers a sustainable material solution, while still maintaining the key benefits of traditional polycarbonate,\u201d says Joel Matsco, Senior Marketing Manager, Covestro. \u201cThe polycarbonate material enables an unencumbered design experience and provides a second life to upstream waste and residues. We look forward to seeing RE8 from Kaynemaile on buildings and in spaces around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Kaynemaile\u2019s origins in the Armory department of <em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em> film trilogy some 20 years ago, the company has evolved into an international business built on its innovative nil-waste liquid-state manufacturing process coupled with a compelling design aesthetic and a team focused on providing bespoke functional design solutions at scale. Kaynemaile\u2019s manufacturing facility is ISCC Plus certified and the introduction of its RE8 bio-circular material helps position architects, planners, and builders to meet regulated carbon reduction targets. \u201cRE8 is the most significant initiative by the company since its founding,\u201d says Kayne Horsham. &#8220;We are proud to be at the forefront of this future proofing circular economy technology.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(San Francisco, June 6, 2023) &#8211; Kaynemaile, a leading global designer and manufacturer of architectural mesh for commercial, residential, and public buildings, today announces a major shift from fossil-based raw materials to biomass content.
