  Case Study 5 -   Product Stewardship programs
The Case of the Safe Bags (Behaving responsibly through Product Stewardship programs
 
 
  The Problem
     Scrap management at air bags manufacturers & recycling the waste productively to generate revenue. Whilst meeting the environmental & product stewardship.
     Process Flow
 

  The Client makes Nylon 66 resin.
  The Client then converts this resin into fiber.
  Fiber is sold to weaving companies, to make it into fabric.
  The fabric is trimmed, and then sold as rolls to customer who make air bags for automobiles.
  There is scrap at the weaving company from trims or rejected material.
  This scrap is collected.
  The air bag manufacturers cut and sow the fabric in the process of making air bags that go inside the airbag module.
  During the cut and sow operation there is scrap.
  This scrap is only Nylon 66 fabric, or it is Nylon 66 fabric layered with paper, or it is Nylon 66 fabric layered with polyethylene film. The scrap differs based on the process used at the airbag manufacturer.

 
  NSR Solution
 

Identifying the sources of scrap. Managing collection logistics. Sorting & bailing. Preparing finished product to customer specification.

  NSR collects this scrap from many different locations in the US and Mexico.
  This scrap is brought to our facilities.
  The scrap is processed (sorted and/or baled) at our facility. The final product is prepared to the customer's specifications.
  The client wants to gather and receive back scrap material that are generated from use of their original prime material, in this case being the Nylon 66 fiber made by them from their own Nylon 66 resin.
  The baled nylon 66 scrap is shipped back to the client's reprocessing facility.
  This is converted back into Nylon 66 Reprocessed pellets.
  These pellets are then sold by the client back into various industrial applications.
  The client feels the Environmental and Product Stewardship responsibility for scrap from their original resins. This way the scrap material are captured back and after reprocessing go back into some other useful applications.
