reSound™ REC Recycled Content Thermoplastic Elastomers
Recycled Content TPEs for Enhanced Sustainability
reSound™ REC post-industrial recycle (PIR) and post-consumer recycle (PCR) TPEs help brand owners create sustainable end-user products, with formulations utilizing 9-83% recycled content. PCR grades are formulated with different types of recycled content: ocean plastics; food packaging from a variety of sources (including content that received a No Objection Letter from the U.S. FDA); oil; or polyvinyl butyral (PVB) from windshields and laminated building glass supplied by Shark Solutions.
Formulated for consumer and transportation markets, these grades can be used in applications such as personal care products, automotive interior and under-the-hood components, lawn and garden tools, outdoor goods, office supplies, USB-C cables, footwear and houseware durables.
