reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint
Thermoplastic Elastomers
Developed to support a global shift toward net zero
CO2 emissions for next-generation products, these
reSound™ TPE formulations deliver negative, neutral,
or near-zero carbon footprint values.
The first grades
in the series offer an industry-first product carbon
footprint (PCF) between -0.46 to -0.02.
reSound ultra-low carbon footprint TPEs are
available globally, and each PCF is location specific
to more accurately support carbon neutrality efforts.
