Avient’s new reSound™ REC thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) incorporate recycled content from polyvinyl butyral (PVB) recycled from broken vehicle windshields and laminated architectural glass to support a circular economy. STUTTGART, Germany – June 21, 2022 – At The Battery Show Europe next week, Avient Corporation is introducing two new grades within the reSound™ REC thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) portfolio. To address this issue, Shark Solutions, a Danish clean technology company, recycles automotive windshields and architectural glass to extract PVB, a thermoplastic used as an interlayer in the laminated glass panels.

Food-Safe TPE: Versaflex™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) enables consumer products manufacturers to replace a thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) silicone material with a softer, child-friendly TPE material, while maintaining strict compliance with food contact regulations in Japan and China.
