Utilizing the Social Plastic from Plastic Bank, two new Maxxam™ REC Recycled Polyolefin formulations were developed, one in each RAL color requested.
The Maxxam REC Recycled Polyolefin formulations met the required technical specifications, including good UV resistance, scratch resistance, impact resistance, and with a matte finish, making them suitable for use in the cubyko leaf waterproof outdoor socket.
THE IMPACT The new Maxxam REC Recycled Polyolefin formulations from Avient enabled Hager to bring the new cubyko leaf to market quickly, with a first launch in the French market in January 2024.
