Uncolored TPEs are naturally dark (typically in gray or brown), based on assorted colors from recycle streams
Ease of colorability creates the option to use sustainable colorants with low residuals (less chlorine or bromine) or natural colorant sources
Can incorporate more natural sources to create a stronger sustainable story

Because their natural color is
usually cream, white, beige or translucent,
TPEs are very easy to color.
Repurposing and recycling
You can also make TPEs out of
biopolymers, which are natural polymers
produced by the cells of living organisms.
For example, other plastics made out of
natural resources such as sugar cane can
be repurposed into TPEs to create new
products.
