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 ultra-low PCF of these reSound TPEs measures
the cradle-to-gate stage of the product life cycle.
The PCF value of these
TPEs may be used as an input to determine the
total GHG emissions generated by a product over
its entire life cycle.
