Likewise, utilizing post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials as composite components can significantly reduce the carbon footprint* of those composites. For instance, Avient engineers successfully used 100% PCR PET in composite unidirectional tapes and laminates, and PCR nylon 6 from reclaimed fishing nets in a LFT composite.

This grade incorporates post-consumer recycled (PCR) material that received a no objection letter (NOL) from the U.S. This new reSound REC TPE is a 65 Shore A hardness and contains 25 percent PCR content from recycled polypropylene (PP). Available in North America, this PCR content formulation offers comparable performance to prime TPEs and can provide a more sustainable option in applications such as toothbrush grips and other personal care items, as well as certain FDA food-contact items like reusable crates.

Wood grain effect • Granite effect • Fabric effect • Muted pastels • Vibration damping PETS FOR THE PLANET • Super concentrates to color PCR • Foaming agents to reduce material and weight • Bio-derived polymers • Natural scents As pet people look for ways to reduce their ‘pawprint’ on the planet, they are making eco-conscious decisions about the products they buy for their pets. Think about choosing materials that are either bio-derived or recyclable, or incorporate post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials.
