Inconsistent streams mean that PCR resin quality
varies from virgin to recycled or from recycled
to recycled, creating color deviation for existing
products.
This, in turn, creates issues for convertors
and brands who need to achieve consistent
product quality across product lines, regions
and markets.
In order to meet demand and avoid delays,
multiple PCR sourcing outlets are often necessary
and multi-pass recycling is utilized, both of which
can increase the risk of polymer degradation
impacting mechanical properties and creating
potential product safety issues due to food contact
concerns.

Co-Create: Customizing Your Product
During the second phase, the brand owner and the plastics processor work together to develop customized solutions for the specific needs of the application.
This is when a color is selected from our unlimited palette, additives are put in and a real molded sample is created using all your specified materials.

In addition to their use in standalone applications, TPEs can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic grip in an injection molding process to create a distinctive, cushioned feel without compromising the stiffness and strength of the underlying structure.
Adding a TPE is an economical way to make an ordinary product stand out and create value for consumers.
Adding a soft-touch grip to a household product is a practical and cost-effective way for designers to create the sensory experience and perception of high quality that consumers crave.
