This not only caused a high scrap rate, but also led to frequent interruptions in the automated process so that the mold and machine could be cleaned. In addition to a lower material cost than silicone, the custom TPE offered cycle time efficiencies, lower part weight due to its lower specific gravity, and reduced scrap rates.

One of the primary challenges in the recycling of PET is maintaining high yield rates for quality rPET. This visibility can increase a product’s appeal and convey a sense of purity and quality, which is particularly important for beverages and personal care products.
