Acer laptop computer "sprinkle design" solves the problem of PCR material appearance, and the electronics industry has set off a spray-free revolution

  Consumer electronics brands are actively implementing environmental protection commitments. Lenovo, Acer, and Dell all plan to achieve a 30%-100% recycled plastic ratio in their products between 2025 and 2035. However, PCR materials have long restricted the appearance design of high-end electronic products due to batch color differences and foreign matter mixing. In 2023, Acer's "Future Hummingbird" environmentally friendly laptop computer will use a 30% PCR material body for a breakthrough, and the recycled impurities will be transformed into aesthetic elements through Teijin's "sprinkle style design" technology-precisely controlling the diameter of the different-color dots to within 0.2mm, so that the spray-free shell has both starry sky texture and scratch resistance, and each unit reduces carbon emissions by 21%.

  The core of this technology lies in molecular-level innovation: Teijin's polycarbonate sprinkle color system can transform the different-color particles that are traditionally regarded as defects into design language by adjusting the dot diameter distribution, and simultaneously solve the problems of appearance consistency and VOC emissions, and increase the yield rate by 15%. The high-precision biting process on the mold surface further enhances the scratch resistance and avoids the spraying process. At present, brands such as Huawei and Xiaomi are following up quickly, promoting the upgrade of PCR applications in the electronics industry from structural parts to appearance parts. Huitong Co., Ltd. has developed gray-white ABS, black PC and other PCR modified materials with the integrated platform of "resin polymerization-modification  empowerment", providing recycling solutions for TV housings and air-conditioning components. In 2024, overseas business surged by 172%, and the production of the Thailand factory accelerated the coverage of the Southeast Asian market.
