One caveat: Typical TPE shrinkage is around 2% while that of substrate materials is closer to 1%.
When looking to incorporate sustainable content into your TPE, the raw material cost may be more expensive than traditional materials for three reasons 1) supply chain maturity, 2) high demand, low supply, 3) location of source and supplier.
Check out this case study for a look at how TPEs were able to bring bottom line savings for an infusion pump.
