reSound™ REC Recycled Content TPEs: The new AF 7210 series of reSound REC TPEs contain 51 – 59% recycled content, including a minimum of 37% from post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources, including closed-loop feedstock from within the automotive industry. They support automotive customers looking to adhere to the targets proposed as part of the End-of-Life Vehicles Directive, which stipulate that 25% of the plastics used in vehicles sold from 2030 must be from recycled plastics, and of that, 25% must be from closed-loop sources.  

Of that, 25% must be from circular or closed-loop streams within the automotive industry.   Overall, the new reSound REC AF 7210 TPE grades from Avient contain 51-59% recycled content, with a minimum of 37% from PCR sources, including closed-loop feedstock.

Of that recycled content, a minimum of 25% (6.25% overall) must come from circular or closed-loop feedstock (from within the automotive industry). Developed in response to the increased need for recycled materials the AF 7210 series of reSound™ REC TPEs incorporates a minimum of 51% recycled content, 37% from post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources, including closed-loop feedstock. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Contains 51–59% recycled content, with a minimum of 37% from PCR sources, including closed-loop feedstock • Provides comparable performance to virgin TPEs - Good UV stability - Meets VIAQ standards for odor and fogging • Supports compliance with the ELV Directive • Provides a more sustainable alternative to virgin TPE grades and supports a reduction in product carbon footprint (PCF) • Can be injection molded and overmolded onto PP KEY APPLICATIONS The reSound REC TPEs – AF 7210 series has been developed for use in automotive interior applications such as cup holder mats, phone charging mats, peddle covers, boot/trunk lining, HVAC flaps and other center console parts.

Water usage is primarily confined to essential sanitary applications and process cooling, with a notable emphasis on closed-loop recycling to minimize consumption.
