We've put together this comprehensive guide to all things TPE to help unravel the details about these versatile and popular materials. If thermoplastic elastomers can do all this, you might be asking yourself, “Is there any reason I wouldn’t want to use TPEs?” In fact, our mission is to solve the world’s most complex material science problems, and we’re here to support you all the way from research and development through production.

Eliminating greenhouse gases can take all organizations involved in the value chain. Amongst all of these activities in the value chain, the EPA states that the highest account of emissions derives from the transportation of goods (28%), electricity (24%), and manufacturing (12%). This is done so that all emissions are calculated as the same unit, which then provides an accurate calculation of total GHG emissions. 

Product Stewardship compares the substance lists published by the authorities to our product portfolio. Such lists include REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) candidate list, U.S. The certification allows all locations on the certification to maintain a Responsible Care® Certification and ISO:14001 certification.
