When using more sustainable TPEs — those formulated with recycled or bio-based content — the range of haptics may be more limited depending on the sustainable content source or possible inconsistencies in those raw materials. On the other hand, bio-sourced tend to be more opaque, making them easily colorable, but they do have a different tint than prime raw materials.  For example, the use of sustainable content such as bio-based or recycled sources can lower a PCF.
