Gravi-Tech™ REC Recycled Formulations
Gravi-Tech™ REC recycled formulations are density
modified engineered polymers based on recycled
resin and/or recycled filler from post-industrial
recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR)
sources.
Gravi-Tech REC recycled grades enable visual
surface effects and aesthetics including metallic
finish, cool touch and color variation, suitable for
applications in packaging and consumer goods such
as cosmetic caps and closures, perfume caps, spirit
bottle caps and luxury boxes.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Customized density offering a wide range of
specific gravities (1.2–11 gm/cm3)
• Based on recycled resin from PIR and PCR
sources
• Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very
rigid grades
• Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization
for long-term use and benefit
• Chemical resistance can be adapted depending
on base resin as required
• Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics, and
cool touch
• Design flexibility and processing ease
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Applications in packaging and consumer goods in
which a more sustainable solution is preferred:
• Cosmetic caps and closures
• Perfume caps
• Spirit bottle caps
• Luxury boxes
• Handles and knobs
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
• Formulated with recycled resin from
post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or
post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources including
ocean bound plastic waste
• Reduces waste and supports the circular
economy
• Reduces carbon footprint compared to fossil
feedstock alternatives
• Simplifies manufacturing and lowers costs
versus metal

Incorporate recycled content – With Gravi-Tech REC
grades you can add up to 98% recycled content.
Evenly distribute the weight – Injection-moldable
Gravi-Tech material provides consistent weight
distribution across the packaging component.
Utilize existing molds – Replace current ABS
solutions with low shrinkage PP grades and utilize
your existing molds
