What are Sustainable Raw Materials?
Compared to recycled materials, bio-based materials generally offer more color flexibility because of their consistency in feedstocks.
The initial costs of using sustainable raw materials may be more expensive than traditional materials.

Bio-based raw materials typically have more color options than recycled raw materials, as the feedstock can be slightly more consistent.
2) Material Performance
The performance of parts can be heavily dependent on the material choice, application, or industry.
Bio-based raw materials can have more color choices than recycled raw materials because their feedstock is typically more consistent.

A weak, less elastomeric material will creep more than a higher strength, more resilient material.
Flexural modulus measures the materials’ resistance to bending, and hardness measures the materials’ resistance to penetration.
Generally, higher hardness materials have better abrasion resistance.
