Polymers can be recycled more easily and efficiently, reducing the environmental footprint of the battery production and disposal processes.

Polymers can be recycled more easily and efficiently, reducing the environmental footprint of the battery production and disposal processes.

Adding to the complexity of the decision, TPEs on the market now incorporate recycled and bio-based content.

The thermoplastic polymer base resin used also enables recyclability to support the company’s sustainability goals.

Composite springs from Avient are ideal for sorting and conveying systems used in a wide range of industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, mining, forestry, agriculture and recycling.

They also offer the ability for producers seeking more flexibility in managing plastic material inventory to store large quantities of virgin or recycled resin and order flame-retardant concentrates as needed for individual projects.

It is increasingly becoming the most popular material of choice due to its versatile characteristics and recyclability.
