Recycling contents up to 54%
Recycling Content TPE
Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) with Recycled Content from Post-Industry and/or Post-Consumer Waste Streams
Can recycled-content TPEs help you meet sustainability goals?
Recycled content TPE contains PCR (post-consumer recycled) and/or PIR (post-industrial recycled) raw materials, thereby reducing the PCF (product carbon footprint) of the materials and the final component.
